Cool My Big Fat Wiring Project: HELP!

So, I'm doing not too bad in replacing the wiring harness in my FC but as I start getting everything hooked up I realize that I don't have a clue where a few wires go. Some help would rock my socks.

It's a mess...



Stereo related? If so, where does that light go?



No idea what this is...



And even less of an idea of what this is but a hunch tells me it's the passenger side speaker plug. (Which I don't need, if so, cause I'm running my own speaker wire.)



Thanks,

I wouldn't be surprized if some of those connectors are for 'extra' options the car didn't come with if your having trouble finding a home for them.

Yeah the wiring can get to be a big headache. Alot of the wires are for extra options and depending on how you want to set up the car most are not needed. I started thinning out my factory harness and just got frustrated with it so now it is laying in the corner of my garage and I am just making my own harness. Mine is simple though I am only running what is needed for the lights and the engine to operate correctly so I only have about 10 wires for my body harness.

Cool

OK, time to get back on this thing! I can't wait to get it all put back together and test the radio and everything.

I figured that one went to the cig lighter but I'll have to take a closer look at it, I was tired last night and unsure of how it went where...

Cool

hmmm... anyone want a $10 wiring harness? I don't need my old one anymore lol (It's 10 bucks cause all the stereo wires are hacked. You could still make it work but it'd take some work.) lol

That is my story exactly.. mine is laying there, i'm scavanging connectors off it so I don't have to get too innovative with the light switches, turn signals and such. Damn is there a lot of wiring in these things, eh?

What are you doing for ECU? Do you have a standalone you're putting in? I'm dropping in a MegaSquirt.

/sorry about the threadjack.

1st one goes the cig lighter.
Don't know for the 2nd.
Pretty sure the 3rd is for the factory radio amp.
