Help I dentifing connectors
 
Can someone please tell me what these connectors are for?

The first one is connected to the positive battery terminal from what it looks like.

These 4 are right by the drivers side fender just before the harness passes through the firewall.

what are the wire colors coming off of them?

one looks like its for a relay that usualy is bolted to the fender near the brake booster and also is the ign coil out of the car cuz one looks like a plug for it as well

the one on your hand is the Connector for the engine bay fuse block.
there are a couple connectors where the grommet and the Firewall are on the Drivers Side.
they would be for the Main relay,the trailing coil,and the Brake Master low level sensor.One wire (yellow/blue stripe I think is Tach signal,not used Per Say,but the Wire connector is there for an aftermarket source for tach)..there is another like six pin Connector that is I think Connected to a "terminated" style connector..it is Blue and has a wire going in and out of that Piece.The harness connects to that terminated connecto.)
Get Better pics of what you are Trying to identify,as I can see is Spaghetti!

As you move through the pictures they get closer and closer to the firewall

First 2 pictures are for the same set of plugs... there is a group of 4 of them together. I was wondering what each of these are for?

The next picture is for a group of three plugs a little closer to the firewall than the first 4 plugs asked about above.

No idea...

Last set of wires and plugs looks to have relays as well... wondering what the white connector in the bunch is for and what the relays do and are for?

Thanks in advance!

the set of 4 connectors connect to the battery harness.

Year/model?

The last picture show the main relay, starter cut relay (alarm), and one of the main chassis grounds.

The second to last picture shows a condenser (attach to ground), a test connector (female bullet) & a plug for the trailing coil.

Break out the appropriate FSM wiring diagrams, and start matching plug shape/wire number/wire color. There are diagrams of every plug on the car.

The free online wiring diagrams show all the elect plugs on the car.......what they are called.........and their location. There are not more than maybe ten-fifteen pages like the one attached. All one has to do is look at the plug in queston, then look at the ten pages til he finds a connector with the same number of sockets and having the same wire colors.

A couple of the plugs in queston just connect the engine harness to the front harness. Others are your trail coil connectors........trail and lead power to the condenser for them...........main relay plug..........starter cut relay........wire to feed the ignition switch. You get the idea.

And there ain't no thing called a battery harness. The harness that connects to the battery is the ENGINE harness.

thanks for the info, I guess it's just easier to ask someone sometimes, rather than looking at the diagram.

I got the car without a motor and engine harness. If anyone lives in the Cleveland, Ohio area and wants to earn a couple of bucks, I'd love to hire them to help me sort this crap out.

I found this link with the whole shop manual for all the harnesses.
