Unknown random unpluged harnesses? Identification needed

Hi, so today i felt like taking pictures of these unplugged harnesses around the car that i have been baffled by for quite some time

Not 100% sure what their purposes are but if any one could identify them, it would be much appreciated.


*Note that this is a 88 Non-Turbo Aus Spec

This one is found at the front left of the engine bay. I may believe that this could be something to do with the headlight washer level sensor? taking a wild guess on that one As you can seen its next to the front left indicator harness.

The wiring on it is

Blue
Blue/Red
Green
Black

Secondly are these 2 found underneath the power window, auto suspension and secuirty light switch panel.

The left one has red/black and red/white wiring. Not sure if this is meant for foglights as the harness does fit the foglight swith.
Remeber this is a series 4 88 RX7

The right one has black/blue, red/black and white wiring. I have no idea about this one.

some times from the manufater they have extra plug depending on what options you have on the car. If your car was a full loaded car it would use every plug. But if your car is a base model it's not going to use every plug

The last 2 i have no idea where they go or what they where meant to do, so its still a bit of a mystery. The only things i could think of that could be there function is possibly foglights? or even the headrest speakers? but that wiring harness is completly different to them and series 4 never came with foglights like the series 5 did or did they on some really limited range or option?

I've investigated my brothers fc aswell which is a 86 (but was produced in 85) and he only has the basics

misterstyx69 - first one is for a headlight washer bottle.Some other guy posted about 4 days ago with the same question.
Thanks! i think that solves that one, as it seems pretty similar on the work shop manuals

I already have my auto-adujust suspension switch put on and it uses a completely different harness to those other 2 sooo yeah...

What i already have connected in the centre console area are the power mirrors, security light and also the auto-adjust switch.

I was investigating if it could possibly be for the speaker switch panel that came in convertible models? but they use a totally different harness aswell, that wont possibly fit these 2 unplugged ones

Ok then..Grenade launcher and M16 activation switch!..Found on the Rx7 Assassin Coupe..lol!
the cars were mass manufactured with the same harnesses and either used the connectors or just left them there.
If the car operates fine,I really wouldn't worry abut a Measly connector..I would drive the **** out of it!....Go Hit Skippy or something..heh,.damn Roos are everywhere I hear!.
