5 connecters that i am unsure about 88 gta

I have an 88 gta with a digital dash that I am putting back together, and there are 5 connecters I can't figure out where they go...I know one is for the washer fluid tank, just unsure which one I can't remember where I put my tank. Hopefully the pics will upload off my phone alright. Thanks for any help

Re: 5 connecters that i am unsure about 88 gta

first pic, left side is for the ESC module. The other may be for the fuel pump relay? if its the car in your sig, it doesn't look like your utilizing much of the stock fp circuit, that relay may have been eliminated.

I don't recognize that wide connector in the second pic at all, but its been a while since I even looked under my hood... :cry:

One of the two pin connectors is for your washer fluid like you said, the other might be for a power steering pressure sensor.

I seem to recall two similar connectors there by the battery and it took me a few minutes of head scratching to find out where it went....

If you still can't figure it out, I'll investigate them later tonight or tomorrow AM.

Wiper motor then?

Its been bugging me here at work lol.

Still can't think of anything for that big one by the battery, mine has something similar on the passenger side joining two harnesses together, I think most of it is for the fans.

The other two pin plug may be for the temp sensor in the drivers side head as well.

Maybe I better quit confusing you and just go look at my car.

It's the headlight module. Both connectors in the first pic.

The wires to the washer motor are red and blue.

I don't have the other two connectors in the second pic. Mine does not have a PS pressure sensor.

Edit: mine no longer has cruise either. That's the big connector.
