I'm going to guess the two wires near the rear seat are for the electric fuel pump. There are two other wires near the rear passenger (driver side) feet which are for power seats (if equipped). Additionally, there is a harness. Is your carpet out now? Here's a reference photo if needed.

Re: under carpet wiring.

Re: under carpet wiring.

i think all the wires that are in the black plastic guards next to the drivers seat are everything that runs to the back. all the tail lights, speakers, elec fuel pump, hatch release/ defrost, rear wiper if you have it. on my 84 the switch for power mirriors comes from this under the driver seat and into the console.

You are 100% correct..

More info is needed before I can upload the schematics for the color codes.. What is the engine size of your car.
