Nope. That needs a total of two wires, splitting into two PAIRS coming off the mirror switch, unless, like in neer models, it's already there.

Could it be for DCCD?
Seat heaters?

It's the connector for the optional flux capacitor.

Looks like the original owner didn't spec one...

2 pole clear connector is probably the "Hold Mode Switch" (for AT)

What do the switches look like?

It's in the same position as my electric mirror switches so it could be DCCD but highly unlikely in a turbo 2000.

If it is the Hold mode switch, then one side (black?) goes to earth and the other (Blue/Yellow?) goes to the TCU under the drivers dash if you had auto transmission.

If correct, hold mode switch is plug B133 and connects to Plug B56

There is also a link to the combination meter for warning light.
