Mechanic unplugged some stuff under dash, trying to find where they go

I brought my car to the shop to do a t56 swap and they changed out the pedal assembly to the t56 one and didn't plug these things back in and am trying to put them back. It's these three things here:

This one is a rubber hose and attached to it is a plastic switch.

If you guys could help me put these back in to place I would appreciate it greatly

The one with the rubber hose is for the cruise control. I can only guess that the other two might be the clutch interlock switch - so you don't start the car in gear, and the other one is possibly the brake light switch.

Re: Mechanic unplugged some stuff under dash, trying to find where they go

The white one with the 2 plugs is the brake switch which cuts the cruise signal and also works the brake lights. The one with the hose is the vac cutout for the cruise. Each goes in one hole on the brake pedal bracket. I believe one may be larger than the other.

As for the last one, don't have a clue. Seems to me there should only be 2 switches on the pedal assembly that are actuated in that manner... The third (on the pedal mount, not in your pics) has a big fat purple and big fat yellow or green wire in it and that one IS the clutch safety switch.

I just put one in my car,their's a bracket with two holes in front of the brake peddle arm,they will have a steel sleeve that holds the switches in place.

The one with the vac line you show seems to be broken,their should be electrical plugs on it.

Re: Mechanic unplugged some stuff under dash, trying to find where they go

The white one with the 2 pigtails is the stop light switch. Surprized he didnt kill your battery or noticed your brake lights where on the entire time. Id question how the tranny was put in if something as simple as that was left unseen

PLEASE help me find where to plug this in!

Can someone help me find where to plug this in? I have been looking and searching and can't find anything. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my cruise control, however I am unsure. Any ideas? There is a picture of the plug and one of under the dash for reference.

Looks like some aftermarket stuff was installed - like a security alarm or remote starter.

Like Kingsobieski said, looks to be something aftermarket. I don't know of any factory wiring that uses a spade like that. Also the inline fuse in the wiring photo is a dead giveaway that you've got some aftermarket electronics.
