Im in the process of putting the wiring harnesses back into the aerocoupe. The car only came with the firewall side harness and the underdash harness so I had to pull the fuse box and the rest out of the 83 Monte. Got everything pulled out and swapped in for the most part but I have a few plugs that aren't connected to anything and im wondering if anyone can tell me what they are. My brain made fart noises when I looked at my Chilton.

Im not using AC, heat, cruise, computer, antenna, or the factory gauge cluster. So really all I need is interior/exterior lights, ignition, windows, wipers, and rear trunk popper. Here are the plugs that I can't find a home for. Any ideas by just looking at them? I know the last one is the trunk popper but what goes to the terminal on the back of the switch??? Thanks for any help...

top picture blue green is the connector near the firewall for your back up lights
Ok awesome thanks. Any idea on the others? My Chilton wasn't much help, I guess it doesn't help I left it out in the rain so it's waterlogged. I think I have a schematic saved on my old laptop I'll have to dig up.
 
I think the blue connector connects the ignition switch. In the 5th picture does that have two rows or just one. If it has two then that should bet the plug to test the pcm. I'm trying to find out the other ones where they go

Clear connector (pink/purple wires) is the cruise control release signal

Pretty sure it has only 1 row. I'll check again tonight. When I pulled the old column out I don't remember seeing that blue connector on it anywhere but that was months ago. I just figured blue meant something kinda like how yellow means airbags in equipped cars.
 
for the last one for the truck release that is a pink/black wire. 14 gauge I think
Where would that pink/black wire connect on the other side? Fuse block?

the blue connector looks like another connector fits in at the edge. The ignition switch has two connectors that fit together before they are plugged into the ignition switch. Picture 7 looks like it may be the other connector. Here is a picture of the ignition swithc and it looks like the spade connectors fit that blue connector ..
