Heated Wheel Retrofit Question

Hi, I'm fitting a heating and vibration module in my steering wheel and all the connections are pretty straight forward except for one little connector. See photo. Can someone please let me know where this connects? Thanks!

Thanks. It's up on the right near the buttons on the right of the wheel. I wonder if it connects to the buttons? I can pull them and see if there's an open connector there.

i wish my memory was a bit better but i feel there was a small connector behind the heating module, and i think that’s what it plugged into.

Definitely not one I can see there. I pulled the buttons that it's not there either. It's a very short wire so it can't go far? The wheel was wired for heat but just didn't have the module. I added this one. The light on the heater button comes on, but no heat on the wheel.

do you have this cable in same configuration? https://www.ebay.com/itm/274717155948

i think the connector with a single blue wire going to it is what it plugged into.

Got it! Tapped into the blue wire and it worked like a charm. Thanks for helping, that pic from ebay was perfect.
