While fixing a short in the AC compressor relay on my 79 limited I noticed a few connectors not connected to anything and just sitting open. One of these was incorrectly connected to the relay and causing the short. The short is now solved but it does however have me wondering can anyone help identify these connectors. They are along the driver-side firewall next to the master cylinder near the relays.
Its the two blue connectors in this picture.
There are two other connections in this area that are not connected to anything again.
In this picture its the white connector and the white with red trace and the plastic cover.
The problem I have with finding these in the wiring diagrams is the diagrams are broken down by system and without knowing what they are even for its hard to find things on the diagrams. Everything appears to be running correctly so I am assuming they are options in the wiring harness that were never used but I am just curious to what they are for.
Thank You
I have never seen blue connectors in any 79's .
I can help you but you need to take pictures further back. Tomorrow il go take a look at my wiring get up which AFIK is stock aside from my electric ignition system
They enter the main harness that comes through the firewall.
I spent time with the wiring diagrams last night, this time instead of looking at the wires and colors I focused on the connector diagrams. I believe they are for the automatic transmission. The kick down relay and the vacuum relay. What I originally thought was a dirty white wire I believe is brown. If that’s the case then they match correctly. And makes sense since I have the manual transmission.
