This odd-looking connector is hanging loose in front of my fuse box. It's brown with a light and (I think) dark gray wire. What is this?

I have no chimes, buzzers, etc. - no warning sounds, and the seatbelt light is always on, whether the seatbelts are connected or not. I'm starting with the chime box but found this & thought to ask here first in case it's related.

...did some research & I think it might be the rear defroster connection to the fuse box. According to the service manual it should go in the location shown below. It looks like the right shape but it won't fit. there's a thin brown strip / ridge on the connector (visible in the above pic, on the left side) & that seems to be what's preventing it.

Is this the defroster connection, and is this the right fuse location?

Those plug into specific ports, see if it'll plug into the LPS port. Bet it'll be for the lights on buzzer.

Those are keyed for a reason. If it don't fit, try a different location. I would try the "LPS" location. The wire that is piggybacking is gray, and gray wires in that area are usually for lights.

Winner! It fit into the LPS port, and my lights on chime now works. Quiet, but works. Thanks!
