'86 NA - Help with wiring / plug identification

Working through some issues and updates on a '86 NA. Someone has cut a couple of wires and joined them differently. Next to the fuse box are a couple of large green connectors, the lower one looks like and the blue/white wire has been cut on this one. I'm struggling to locate exactly what this connector is in the '88 wiring diagram from foxed.ca. Any pointers please?

Thats FR-02. Its the connector between the front and rear harness. The L/W wire that's cut is the signal from the switch that activates the interior spotlights. I can't remember which switch, but probably somewhere on the headlight switch.

Many thanks, that helped me locate it in the manual too.

Seems a little odd, as far as I can work out it was previously cut and looks like joined into what I assume is the connector for the cruise control instead. Interior lights work still and can't understand why this would be done and why (if my assumption is correct as I don't have cruise and connector is floating) to the cruise connector.

I'll dig further this weekend.

It's insane to think anyone would cut that section of the harness. I see no benefit in doing so.

I'm guessing the switch for the cabin light failed for one reason or another, so they bypassed it and ran it to a toggle.

That would make sense.

It is pretty insane and I can't make sense of it so far. No other switches either!
