what is this connector?

I know that one connector is the mirrors, which you can see unconnected.
At the top of the photo circled in green there is the connector in question, when disconnected I didn’t see anything obvious not getting power.

and at bottom in yellow i found a positive connector , that’s not connected to anything.. wondering if is why my mirrors aren’t tilting. that’s another post.

You have two circled the larger white plug is power mirrors. The single wire you have circled, if brown and white strip is wire that runs to door switch for interior dome lights

Ok, yes! i made a mistake the connectors circled ARE the mirrors. I meant to circle the connectors that you see on either side of the picture that are Unconnected, what is THAT for? I’ve plugged and unplugged and do not see anything going on and off. And that single brown circled is not the interior light switch, the lights work perfectly! in fact that wires has been hanging there quite a while, unplugged. it does have a strip and there is another wire close to it with a different spade connector end, also not connected to anything, it is solid brown, no stripe and they both are power, not ground.. i tested them.

..jgu..You have asked what is the brown wire with white stripe is for.We told you it is for the interior lights.
If your lights are working..there is a hack in the wires.
regarding your mirror..i still like to see the plug connections on your drive side mirror to more assist you
