NEED HELP! Identify which connectors these are from steering column

I dropped my steering column to install a set of manual pedals for my t56 swap. Now that I put the steering column back in, I have a few extra connectors hanging there!?!?! I'm not sure which ones they are or if they even were just hanging there before. Thanks in advance for the help!

Here are the connectors:


another pair:


And is there suppose to be another flat plug-in next to this one that's on the steering column?

its common for you to have plugs inder the dash that arent used. the factory didnt make harnesses specific for what options you had. they used generic harnesses with the wires for all options. chances are they are for options your car doesnt have. if everything works, dont worry about them.

Makes sense haha. I was freaking out why I have extra connectors but don't see anywhere for them to be plugged in at. Guess I'll just finish it up then and see if everything works from there. Thanks for the info

Re: NEED HELP! Identify which connectors these are from steering column

Would help to know wire colors in the connectors...

The 6-pin in the first pic and the big white one with the vacuum hose connection in the second pic appear to be cruise control, the 6-pin attaching to the harness that comes through the firewall and goes into the engine compartment, and the other wires and the hose coming out of that same harness go into the big white vacuum brake switch that is SUPPOSED to be on your brake pedal bracket next to the brake light switch. The other piece, that holds the switch actuator, may have come off of the brake switch. Mine comes off a lot...

In the first pic, the big connector has a black, tan (cream?), blue w/ white stripe, green, and light blue w/ black stripe.

The smaller connector has a grey, grey w/ black stripe, pink w/ black stripe, and blue wire.

The vacuum hose connector looking one has a pink w/ black stripe and purple wire.

I believe my car has cruise control but makes sense now because it never worked lol.
