Need Help ID-ing a few Random Wires
I took some pictures of a few random connections that were disconnected by the PO, in each of the photos I tried to include other items in the photo to help with location, and the locations in the text just say where they "hang down" potentially not where they would normally be connected so keep this in mind. any help would be great!
The first is of two small plugs coming out of the floor near the bottom left of the fuse board.
2nd is of a larger plug inside and above the glovebox, i am guessing this one is for alarm controls
3rd is a large plug with four prongs coming out near the small wheel under the left side of the steering wheel
4th is an odd looking one located by the small wheel under the right side of the steering wheel
And the last one exits near the red plug (connecting one of the window controls, I cant think of which one that is right now) on the drivers side
Thanks so much!
(sorry the first two aren't great quality)

I'll have to check when I get home from work, but I believe I just disconnected that plug when I pulled my engine (86.5) Do you have the WSM? Go to the engine removal section for 32V engines. I believe its somewhere around step 42 to 45 where is says "disconnect lambda probe, EZK, LH, and electronic ignition plugs" or something to that tune. There is a photo. I will check when I get home if no one else pipes up with an answer.

The 2nd & 5th look like the alarm module connectors - with a bridge installed to enable the ignition (not so well done I'd say looking at it). The 3rd looks like a pod switch connector - where is it? it may well be the stock extra connector for the ROW rear fog switch (there on all looms but just taped up un USA models - just like this) it should be left inside the pod.

Well I will search thru the WSM for the first one,
yes the third is in the pod behind the steering wheel on the left side, and I believe you are right on the second, still no idea on the 4th or 5th
Thanks to everyone so far
