so that the lights "know" when the doors are open. if you don't have those connected the lights won't come on when the doors open.

"Old tech" was a pushbutton switch in the door opening that was depressed when the door closed.

Our Jeeps use current tech, which is a contact inside the latch.

i think it's time for a velcro or hook and loop mod that keeps the loose connectors from getting smashed in the door when you're not paying attention.
