What are these plugs?

Context: the buttons on the dash to the left of the steering wheel.

I have a 2007 2WD V8 4runner, which I think was the only, or one of very few years to feature no traction control off switch, as such. I have two switches of four, the AC inverter switch and "Auto LSD" which the manual informs me means it'll clamp down the brakes on whatever wheel it detects to be spinning freely of the two rear wheels so as to send power to the other one, in situations such as one of the wheels getting stuck in a ditch or something.

I found these two smaller plugs just behind that area in the dash, and was wondering whether anyone else had them connected and what they do on any trim level or drivetrain type or engine type 4runner?

I have seen two other switches that I don't have that exist in 4th gen 4runners by default: the center dif lock and the "RSCA off" switch. I suppose these could be the plugs for those, but I wanted to confirm or correct my suspicions.

The plugs look virtually the same but you can see a closeup of the white one and the black one behind, and the second shot is of the black one closeup.

Mostly this is purely academic, but on the off chance toyota accidentally left something working on these switches (like some cursory traction-control-off function of the center dif lock, without a center dif lock, for example...), i might get a switch, plug it in, and see what it does.

Thanks in advance for info :]

Most likely its the RSCA and CDL switches. I really would have to trace the connectors and wire colors to be more specific...

But more importantly, why is there a household wire nut behind the dashboard? o_O

Pretty sure that's right. I have 2 switches in the blanks for roof lights.
 
After reading this, I popped off my panel to see if I have any unused switches. I have an 07 sport and currently have 2 of 4 switches beefing used. One for cdl and one for rsca. The is one unused switch dangling there. Dug into research a lil bit, still nada. Colors on the wires are,
Yellow with red stripe
Solid blue
White with black stripe
White with green stripe
Solid green.

Any idea what switch this plug it for??
