Electric Switch ?

Does anyone have an idea what these connectors go to (Yellow) or what type of switches, they are located in the center dash console just under the climate control area.

I think the little 4 pin black plug with the blue and brown wire is for the phone module.

I don't think these can be for the heated seats, as I can see the radio antenna plug, the small black plug looks like the one for the variable speed wiper and the white one looks like the one for the cigarette lighter. The weird black spade one with the bent metal clip on it is (I think) the anti-theft ground. I just looked at the switches on my horseshoe, and I've got two yellow plugs - one is for the PSM switch and has a blue/red wire, and the other is for the central locking, and doesn't. I've got two more connectors than you seem to have though - one for the cab top switch and one for the
heated rear window. They are green and purple.

Mine is a coupe, but when you say central locking is that a switch or connect to another component?

It's a switch - top right of horseshoe, picture of a key and a red LED which lights when the doors lock.

In fact looking at your picture again I'm fairly sure I've got this right, as I can even see the blue/red wire I mentioned, going to the left hard yellow connector.

So there is one switch for both sides or one for each side? I have 2 more connectors below 1 black and the other white which has a key switch hooked up to one of them and I assumed that was for the locking and I was just missing the other key switch.

There is one switch for the PSM (on the left in a US car) and one switch for central locking on the right side. This is on a 2002.

So if yellow on the right side is for central locking. What are the green and purple plugs on that same side for? I have a cab. Thanks

The yellow connectos are definetly for Tip Switches. If you give the wire colors I can look them up on a wiring diagram and tell you what they are for specifically. Need the model year for your car too.
