Question Wiring Help

OK, now, because I'm a complete genius (hoping the extreme sarcasm found inside my skull transfers over to you) I decided to replace the dash wiring harness without knowing what I was doing.

So... no surprise - I now have a few "connectors" that don't seem to "go anywhere".

The culprits are underneath the driver's side dash. One is male (with no female counterpart in sight) with a black with yellow wire and a yellow with brown wire going into it. It's head is a square with four pins. The second is a lone ranger, single pin, white with brown, again, male, with no female anywhere to be seen. And the final connector is to the extreme left of the driver's side - 6 pin on top, seven on bottom.

Pictures, always seem to help too, so here's some lame (but hopefully helpful) imagery.

In this order, single wire, quad connector, and 6/7 pin connector:







Thanks!

Most harnesses are all the same, no matter what options are installed in your car. So your base model FC will probably have a similar wiring harness as a fully loaded car. So things that arent installed, will not get plugged in.

Following me?

And dont bump, or you will incur the wrath of the mods.

Well... I installed the dash without plugging any of these in and everything is working fine as far as I can tell. So, yeah I have a base 1988 RX-7, manual, non-vert. Must be for extra options or something... :/

Oh well....
