Electrical Question

I just did a dash swap on a 85. Got everything connected but there is one connector and a set of bullet plugs that I don't know where they go. It's a 4 wire connector (brown, green/yellow, black, red/blue) and the bullets are red/green and black. The location of the connectors is just behind the radio. These are the only ones left and everything is working except the buzzing noise is always on (like when you open your doors while the engine is running)

I seem to remember the was some wire underneath the shifter cover. If so, where did those wires come from? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Can't help on the dash connectors, but I recall a thread saying DON'T CONNECT THE CONNECTORS UNDER THE SHIFT COVER!!
My understanding its ga-ron-teed to pop something to kill your dash lights. Those connectors are for the auto tranny.

As mwpayne said, connecting the wires below the shift boot will blow the dimmer.

The four pin connector sounds like the overdrive switch for the automatic; it's behind the radio and the only difference from what you described is it has a Red/Green, not Red/Blue.
Didn't see any reference to the bullets, though. You could download the '84 (basically the same as '85) factory wiring diagram and check further :

Thanks. I was pulling out the carpet 'cause I thought I lost some connectors under there. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the warning buzzer.
