Default Mystery engine bay connectors? (w-pics)

Im trying to trouble shoot my side markers, which do not work on my driver side. I have a mystery electrical connector that has basically crumbled in my hand



What is this connection for ? ^^^

I also noticed this connector. Seems to have a blue wire on it, and I cannot find the matching female end (looks to be terminated with a male spade connector]

vvvv


Any help would be appreciated .. Thanks in advance.

top one looks like the brake pad indicator plug/abs sensor plug..

bottom one looks like the A/C clutch wire but it's awfully high up...should be down near the compressor off the front harness...

I thought the AC wire was black, but the connector looks correct for AC.
Chase the wire.

The corner lights are inside the front wheel well panel, and the top photo is not the brake, but does look like ABS too, does your car have ABS?

Also if you disconnect does the light come one?

Does look like the A/C wire connector, but not sure about the wire color either. The first picture is from Dwayne's page, the second is from my 84.

I think the bottom one is for trailer lights.

Thanks. If it is an ABS connector I dont want to touch it, however some cold mornings I get ABS light for about 10 minutes.

The blue wire I will trace tomorrow it may be AC clutch.

Will remove the wheels and service the Side marker (new bulbs) and trace the wires. They just magically stopped working
