Help identifying wires

I removed the fuel gauge to change a relay and saw these 2 small wires inside the dash that were not connected to anything. They have very small connectors on them, I know they are a power a ground, but I do not know where they should go The power wire becomes live when key is in the on position. Anyone have a clue what they are for? Thanks

Is anything plugged into the sunroof switch under the fuel gauge hole?

Check mirror change-over switch. It is located around this area too - a bit to the right from roof switch

Thanks for the reply I checked the mirror switch, no missing wires and it works. I pulled the oil pressure gauge and looked inside did not see any connections that were missing wires. I know they have to connect somewhere I am sure Porsche would not put a live wire inside the dash that was not connected to anything.

Try looking from the other side, can you see any contacts?

Anothet thought that comes to mind is wire harness for rear wiper. I know it may sound odd for a cab, but porsche tended to standarize wiring and these two might have just laid out idle on trunk floor, behind gauges.
I had the same case with rear foglight wiring in US market car, where this has feature not been factory provided. Yet, cables are there, laying down on trunk floor on one side and hanging coiled behind left tail lamp.
