Default What are these disconnected plugs behind my steering wheel?

I ran across a few disconnected plugs behind my steering wheel today. I'm guessing one is Cruise Control, one is for the Airbag, and one is for the horn. But can you guys tell me which is which? And why doesn't the little one have a place to go?

And I want to know because my cruise control does not work and I would like to know where to start. Maybe it's because it's been disconnected...

Sorry, I don't know which is for what, but can't you just plug them back into the corresponding plug and see what works.

Round plug is cruise, horn, or airbag. Single plug is for warning chime when you have key in ignition. Not sure what the other is. My 93 had a black 3 pin connector back there that never had anything plugged in (still had untouched factory dielectric grease in it).

Well as I said in my post guys, I know what they could be. I just don't like trying plugs when I know one goes to the airbag.

I wish I knew which one was airbag and which one was cruise so I can start to diagnose them when they don't work.

Screw the warning chim...my locks don't work anyways. Ugh old foxbody's haha

Should only be one round plug under the dash there for that other plug. Its one of those three. Might be power and ground. I took all that out of my car/harness when I rewired it and no longer have any of those plugs. All I have at the column now is the 3 plugs for multifunction, ignition switch and a 2 pin plug for my horn switch.

Looked up diagram for my car and connector c2018 has a black, yellow/green, and light blue/black wire. That connector is the one for the horn and cruise control. Airbag connector has a gray/white and gray/oragne wires.

Keep in mind this is for a 93. Yours may be different. I can say that on my 93, the yellow and green wires under the dash are connector the 12v hot at all times, red/yellow are switch 12v. Black is ground (duh). Blue/red are lights. Blue/black is different things.
