Default Disconnected cable under the steering wheel

During my instrument panel removal exercise, I realized that there is a disconnected cable (yellow connector) under the steering wheel, around break and gas padles. I saw this after removing the cover under the steering wheel. See the pictures. Do you have any idea what is it related to?

Looking at the pics gave me a headache[:@].

If your 850 is functioning normally, the connector is for optional equipment.

Sorry about the pictures. The red handle is hood opener. It may help.

The Yellow connector doesn't have anything going out. Im not sure what it is really for as I have never seen one hooked up. It just usually has the dummy empty plug connected to it.
