Hi All
Looking for some help identifying 2 connectors and where they go!
About 12 weeks ago, I replaced the temperature sensors in the rear airconditioning unit on my W22 S55K, but also 12 weeks ago, I did not put everything back together, and the car was stored until now.
I have been trying to put everything back together -
Identified the connectors which plug back into the climate control screen - Tick
Identified the connectors which plug back together for the aerial and phone - tick
Have 2 spare connectors (one with 3 pin sockets + brown wire + blue(?) and grey) and the other with brown wire + grey/black - no tick - I cannot see where these go, and it has been such a long time since disassembly that I am stumped.
They are not on the Aircon harness (and all the sensors on the air con unit are connected - I did at least finish that part of the job) - they seem to come on their own from the front of the armrest

Could someone please help identify them as I am being a bit of an idiot.
Many thanks in advance

Cheers

Cigar lighter/ ashtray light?
The wires appear to be routed to the rear of the arm rest - but I do not have an ashtray or lighter socket - Maybe they are redundant - part of a standard loom which allows for ashtray light and lighter socket on models without rear air con? IMG_9979.jpg

See if they have any power, you could install a tidy USB socket to power your phone.
