I am putting back my center console wood trim and wiring all the connectors back in. I can't seem to find a spot for one small 2 wire connector. It comes off same harness as hazard switch and door locks. Is this for one of the options that my car doesn't have or am I just not seeing where it goes?

cigarette lighter?
It probably plugs into the ash tray for the ash tray light. Black connector with blue and black wires if I'm remembering correctly.

After some fiddling I think I figured it out. The door right below the armrest that has a pocket. I believe some models have illuminated button there. My car doesn't. I think that's what the connector is for.

Are you sure you have the illuminated ring for the cig lighter plugged in like the 1st two replies suggested?
You can tell quickly by turning on the headlights then looking at your cig lighter to see if the ring around it is illuminated. It's #24 in the diagram below. If your cig lighter doesn't have an illuminated ring around it...you forgot to plug in the electrical harness for it:
