PIC Request: Bin wiring connector & Oil level sensor connector

I am cleaning up the wiring in my car and can not seem to find the harness plugs for the oil level sensor and the bin wiring. If someone could snap a pic of where these connect I would really appreciate it. The oil level sensor is a single wire, oval plug and the bin wiring is a two wire square-ish plug. I looked through the FSM and a bunch of PIC threads but could not find a good picture of these two connections. My car is an 87 TII if it matters.

Thanks in advance.

Wires for the bins are bullet connectors ,red and black.
The Oil sender has a yellow wire going to a square-ish plug that slips on a Rivet type Connection on the "bell" of the Sender.

I am talking about the oil level sensor on the oil pan. I know where the sensor is and what the connector looks like, I just can not for the life of me find the other side. I want to see the general location before I start cutting open a bunch of wiring loom.

I am also talking about the connector that connects the bin wiring to the body wiring. I know there are bullet connectors that connect it to the bin itself, but I need the body harness plug. It should be somewhere around the driver side B pillar but I do not see any plugs open around there.

Thanks Dave

i don't really feel like pulling my bins out to grab a picture. i can tell you this though, on my 88 gxl the two wire harness is behind the drivers seat and under the bins frame, pretty close to the where the seatbelt mounts

i need the square connector at the end of that harness...the one that plugs into the body harness. if you have a full interior it will probably be hard to see/find

gotchya.

In the process of installing the rear interior today....

That plug snaps down under the drivers side bin. In the pic the one end is still snapped in place to the chassis.

They only come on when your parking or headlights are on, and the bin lid is open. Same for the glove box
