On my 1980, the white solenoid connects to one black wire, and one green wire with a yellow stripe.
According to the wiring diagram, the black wire is ground, the green-with-yellow comes from the Air Conditioning Relay, which is one of the relays (front, inside one) mounted just aft of the drivers-side strut tower. That relay is controlled by the ECU.
Different years may use different colors.

Looking at the wiring diagram, it seems what I thought was green-with-yellow is labelled "GW" which would be green-with-white. Of course, the wires ARE 29 years old, so white isn't going to be all that white any more.
The other wires likely ran the other solenoids on the rats nest. The number and purpose changed over the years.
You can download the wiring diagram for your 84 from here:

Will answer many of your questions, quicker than waiting for others to answer.
