Rear hatch plug Disconnected

Hey, I am working on replacing my third brake light, and got it installed, (1987 Wagon) it was a pain in the butt to do..

My question is. There's a 3 Prong connector thats been Disconnected, It has a White cable going to where it connects to (pin side) the female end (prongs slide into) is a non descript Black square. any Ideas on what this is?

edit--- It is UNDER the carpet panel on the door, Passenger side near the locking mechanism and right next to the wiper motor assembly

Probably that assisted close motor thingie. Or something, mine's unplugged too so I'm not sure what it does. Maybe it's in my owner's manual...
