Wire Connector Behind Engine Sound Pad

Hello, new to PP..... Anyone know what the wire connector behind the left side of the engine sound pad is for? I was replacing my engine sound pad and discovered this connector after pulling the pad out. I don't know what should be connected, any ideas? The connector is behind to top left side of the pad.

Doesn't look like a factory connector to me but I will let someone who knows more answer. What year car?

Thanks for the quick reply... yes I guess more details would help.... This is on a '83 SC Cab. The connector is coming through the firewall just above the cruise control unit on the left side of the engine bay. The wires are black and sky blue. The hole in the firewall appears to be factory drilled.

As per allaircooled comment, not a Porsche connector.

With the car running what is the voltage (if any) at the plug?

Hopefully it 0 Volts and then we'll need to find a switch (probably not a factory one) that energies it.

I agree with allaircooled it doesn't look factory , it looks like half of a RV trailer light plug . Also the factory would have a rubber grommet in the hole that it comes through .
