anyone know what the two blank spots on the LHS of the steering wheel are for on a 99 legacy wagon? the blank spot closest to the steering wheel actually has a thing right there for something to plug into, while the blank spot closest the door is strait empty.
i wanna know what is supposed to plug into that piece. thanks!

Ok, been hotwiring 99 legacy more than a year without any problems. I was using a light switch for the on/off and a springy button thing to engage the starter. It all worked well, and was simple for my gf to use as well. Then I found what i thought was a really cool new switch and button combo that would both fit well and look much better, so i took the light switch and button off and thats when things went south. I got sidetracked doing something with my neighbor, and during this time while all the ignituon wires were just hanging free, my gf decided she needed to drive to the store.
I heard her yell and saw the cloud of smoke come from under the hood. The big wire connecting the selenoid to the starter had fried - all the insulation was burned off and after it cooled down i taped that wire back up but it was clear the starter was done.
So i got a new starter, and now when i try to start the car it sounds like somethings not engaging. Theres no cranking sound, just a constant sound like things are just rotating. The cars been dead about a month now and i dont know what to do. I thought the starter may not be turning the flywheel but it is. I also cleaned all the ground wires i could find , had both the starter and alternator tested, and made sure theres spark. Its the weirdest sound trying to start it, everyone whos heard it says the same thing - that theyve never heard that before and that it sounds like somethings not engaging.
I dont know what to do please help

my wagon does not have fog lights. and its the far left blank thats empty empty and the inside one with the plug. i'll go take a good look at it and let you know how many wires it has.
my ignition got all f'd up about a year ago, since then ive played around with different ideas. i was using a lightswitch and a pushbutton for the longest time, but i got a cool led lit toggle switch the other day and decided to use those two blanks for the push button and the toggle. i was surprised to find the one blank wasn't so blank after all.
