1989 Pontiac GTA, Passenger Side Connector Question?

I have a 1989 GTA 5.7L. Can somebody tell me what this 6 pin connector is for? It has two plugs each with 3 pins. One is Orange, Red and Black wire and the second is white, gray, and green. The car is running perfectly except the cooling fans runs constantly. Just curious what these are for?

Thanks in advance!

Re: 1989 Pontiac GTA, Passenger Side Connector Question?

The unit with the six pins is a relay, , , your power antenna relay to be specific. The black, orange, and pink come from the radio harness, and the green, white, and grey come from the power antenna itself.

And no, none of that has anything to do with why your fans run constantly........

The cooling fan relays are under the hood on pass front around the airfilter and charcoal canister
