Wires disconnected under dash

Ok so my cruise control doesn't work, bought it like that from someone. So i went to test the switch and saw that this yellow connector thing under the steering cover thing was disconnected and the wires went to nothing. There was also a blue connector that had some flat copper prongs on it that wasn't plugged in either. The picture is of the yellow connector, my camera couldn't see the blue one but they are right next to each other. What do they go to?

The other two pictures are from under the hood both right next to the battery. The one is just all cut off and I have no idea where it goes and the other seems to be a ground for something but not sure what. The single wire is on the other side of the car and it just goes into a bunch of wires and disappears.
Everything seems to work fine, The car had fog lights at one point but got removed with a new bumper.
Thanks

Re: Wires disconnected under dash

the first pic is the conector for the air bag (is there an aftermarket steering wheel?) if you plug this wire back in make sure the battery is disconected first . the third wire is bolted to the body and needs to go to the battery , I assume somebody replaced the ground wirw with an after market single wire , that ground is important ! you can get a terminal end at autozone and conect the wire in the pic along with thick wire that runs to the block. the other wire I,m not sure.

Yes it has an aftermarket steering wheel, no airbag.
And ok, thanks for the help
