Default Mystery hole in console

I'm trying to get the 4wd dash indicator lights working on my 88 xj limited 4.0lt. auto trans. I have removed the dash and replaced all the bulbs, but can only get full time 4wd (green ) light to turn on. while looking for the problem, I came across a mystery square hole to the left of the emergency brake in the console all taped up by previous owner. there is a multi wire connector laying loose inside. is this part of the shift indication circuit or something else?

its for power mirrors but there is probably a reason its not there and all taped up. do you have electric locks and windows ? if not and it has manual mirrors now maybe the doors were switched out or possibly just the switch broke and they took it out and taped them to be safe?

Perhaps switch went bad or the PO was a DAPO
