In the first pic, i think the red/white wire goes in the connector with the two orange wires and the two yellow wires that are crudely twisted together should be soldered and wrapped. but where does the T connector with two orange and one red wire go?

Second pic, these are blade type connectors with overspray on them. One has two pinkish/purple wires. One has a white wire.

Third pic, What plugs into this bullet connector of two yellow wires? Is the T connector with [two orange and red/white and a blue] for the radio?

Fourth pic, there are four wires going into this connector, two yellow, two red.

Fifth pic, the male bullet connector looks to be a black wire donw by drivers side kick panel. The female bullet has two light green wires

Any help of where all of these connect would be great. The The wires in the second pic come out of the harness closer to the steering column. Was thinking maybe the white wire went to the blade on the back of the clock. Thanks again for helping.

Thanks CudamanTom! I tried and then it said they were too big. If they are too small for people to be able to help me i will have to add each pic individually.

Dan,
have you tried Photobucket? It's free (for a certain amount of space) and very nice to use on posting pics. Just post the link and poof, a nice large pic of perfect size.
A lot of others use it too.
Just a thought.

When I get home, I will look at what I have and try to post some helpful stuf. But don't worry, your in good hands here. Others will join in shortly.

Okay Dan,

Lets see:
From what I can tell...
Orange wires are instrument panel lights and plugs into the orange bullet connector
Yellow bullet connector/wires is battery accessory
T connector with Red, white & blue wires is radio
Black bullet on drivers side panel is emergency brake
Bullet connector with light green is headlamp delay

Still working on 2 yellow and two red and the pink/violet with white wire.

The two purple on one connector and one white wire on connector go to brake pedal switch. Doesn't matter which way.
For the clock if optioned should be single grey wire.

Still working on the other.

Can you post a bigger pic of the 2 yellow and 2 red?

Wow CudamanTom, thanks for all of the help! I got the brake switch hooked up. But i have a few more questions.

My car is not optioned with the A01 light package so is it possible for the harness to have a wire for Headlamp delay but the car not actually have that option? I don't think my car has Headlamp delay.

Also, my car doesn't appear to have a parking brake switch attached to the parking brake assembly. Can these be purchased new anywhere?

I am attaching bigger pictures if the other things that i'm not sure of including:

Pic 1) The T connector with two yellow and two red wires going to it. Not sure what this connects to, also in the pic you can see a female bullet connector with two yellow wires that has black stripes. I also have a female bullet connector with two plain yellow wires(not pictured) that i'm not sure about.

Pic 2) The T connector coming off of the harness with two orange wires and a red wire with a white stripe that seems to have come apart from connector. Any idea what this plugs into?

Pic 3) These two yellow wires were cut at some point and now are just twisted together. It looks like they probably should just get soldered back together and wrapped. Thoughts?

Pic 4) My car is a rallye dash car so it does have a clock but i dont have any other stray wires that would connect to the blade connector pictured.

Thanks again for all of your help. This has been an exhausting process.

Hey HP Cuda! Thanks for jumping in. That connector with the two orange and red/whit stripe is the one i'm not sure about. The thread you pointed me to says it the radio but i think my radio connector is the one that looks just like this but has a blue wire also? Not arguing, just a bit more confused!! HELP!! lol

Yeah that T connector is definitely the Radio. Possibly someone has cut in a blue wire to patch it.

I've found some weird stuff like that on my harness which I had to fix.
