Was working on something else when I noticed this plug hanging out, just relaxing tucked underneath the glovebox in the space between the outside/underside bottom of the glovebox and the "knee" trim piece. Wow, I'm horrible at describing things so please see attached photo, which is upside down, so I'm horrible at photos, too.
Anyone know what this is for?
Thanks!

Glovebox light?
Interested in finding this out too. :-)
That's the connector to the switch for the glovebox light. Does the glovebox light come on when you open it?
Early E31 without passenger-side airbag had 2 glovebox compartments and hence 2 switches and 2 identical connectors. However, even the latest electrical troubleshooting manual (ETM) still shows both switches and connectors (1995 and by that time the passenger-side airbag was standard equipment over the entire production line). I don't know whether that's a mistake in the diagrams or whether that second switch/connector really is still present. So if your glovebox light works normally, I'd say it's the second switch which is no longer used in your '96. If it doesn't work, well, you know what to do...
