Default Unknown wires

Okay, so I've had this car for about 8 months and haven't been curious enough to inquire about these cables till now. I contacted the old owner and he had no idea what they were either, so if someone would be nice
enough to tell me what they are that'd be great.

This wire comes out of my center console towards the drivers side.

These are both underneath the drivers seat.

Lastly, I found this in the glove box. I understand that a charger of some sort would plug into this, but I have no idea where the other side would plug into.Name:  130414_0003_zps9441cb49.jpg

Oh, and I guess it's important to know that my car is a basic 1994 model. No power locks or seats, and no trunk button (that I can find.. If one does exist, let me know!)
Thanks in advance fellas!

trunk button would be in the glove box. no electric seat? them wires at the console could be to that. may have to track the red and black wires on the one under glove box. could be to hatch button.

Picture one and four, I'm not sure. Picture two is wiring for the seat belt indicator in the dash. Picture three is the connector for the power seats. What Craby said, the power trunk button should be inside the glove box. I'm not 99 percent sure all fourth gens got the power hatch release.

Ah okay, I thought the seatbelt wire had something to do with my stereo because when I was adjusting in my seat once or twice the radio turned off and back on.
And I've searched every nook and cranny of that glove box so it seems mine didn't come with it . I was just wondering because during the winter my doors freeze shut & instead of possibly breaking my handle off I just crawl in through my trunk and go on my merry way, but once I get to my destination I end up stuck inside my car anyways.

Hmmm....maybe it was option. I'm sure the wiring is there you could hook one up if you wanted. Check the drivers door panel. I can't remember if they moved it there in the later years or if that's how the Firebirds had it.

in the glove box, look up and to the left of where the hook is for the glove box. if there is a small hole, the trunk button couldve fallen through. that happened on my old camaro. I didnt know about it until i took the dash apart one day and saw it hanging inside.
also, mc got it right, the one is for the seat belt indicator and one for power seats. as craby once told me, they set it up all the same for the v6 and z28, so some wires are simply not used.
the one for under the console, i remember it has a purpose but i cant remember what. only 3 bolts and a pin hold in the center console so you can pull it out and look pretty easily.
the last picture, i dont know if any of us have ever seen before. haha

electric hatch lock is an option, a90. check your rpo codes on the sticker inside the glove box.

If you ever remember it's purpose, let me know lol. And even if I did pull apart the console, I wouldn't know what I'm looking at. I'm a car noobie.

@ craby, I checked for that code and it wasn't listed. Thanks for the heads up.
