Additional Loose Wiring

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Found these loose wires in the dashboard fuse box. Wondered if anyone knows what they are for? I'm thinking they may be redundant from a previous owner, 
but not sure. Anyone seen the like?

My vehicle has several unused connectors under the bonnet and behind the dash. 

I've always assumed these are where cable looms are made to a single design to cope with many different vehicle versions and options, so some will always be superfluous.

If I am right that looks like the passenger side dashboard of our Rienza and there are the same plugs. It’s likely the base vehicle has the same wiring loom for other models and some plugs are redundant.

Sorry Rodger I have just got you’re post and we seem to have double up our reply.

Yup, right you are! The Ravenna, Dorado and Rienza are pretty much the same

Will test it to see if it's live etc. Could be useful

 Have you tested or made use of any Roger?

I found those connectors whilst trying to cure a rattle above the glove box. The step warning buzzer wasn’t fastened down as per the picture. 
Also during my quest to sort the step wiring I found an inline fuse holder in there. That is the fuse for the buzzer not the step as I thought. The additional wiring care of Autosleepers for the step on mine is a nightmare. I still havnt sorted the automatic retract. At least the buzzer works now.

Only one on the far right by the air filter, which is supposed to be an early version of an engine fault code reader. I had no joy with that. 
As for the rest, I don't like poking around with things I don't understand, especially when everything that needs to work, does. 
There are no obvious mating connectors near any of them that I could see that may have come adrift.
Let sleeping dogs (and idle connectors) lie!
