Question Electrical connections near passenger side front hood strut

I've got two of them not plugged into anything. Both are female end, one two wire, the other three wire, but no corresponding male plugs to be found. Any ideas what they're for? Everything in the car appears to work great except A/C.

Is your front trunk light working? In my '90 this is where I disconnect the light when I have the hood up for a long time.

The three wire is most likley the trunk light right passenger side underside of the hood.
The other I'd have to trace its locale, possible electrical connect for the winsheild washers?
Search around the strut area they may be pushed down in there when the hood struts were replaced.

The crash sensors have a plug near each hood strut. The sensors themselves are located on the trunk pan next to the shock towers. Tracing their cables to the connectors is easy after you lift the trunk carpets.

One pair of the is for the side lights on the fenders that US cars don't have.

Thanks everyone. The three wire one was the interior trunk light as suggested. Still haven't traced the 2nd one yet...
