Not too sure what this is....anyone have an idea?

question 2: what is the other wire connector in the picture connected too? Not sure what that is either..

(not too many similarities with my p80s)...

Kind of look like main fuel pump connectors.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but the wrong angle here.

I see some sort of transmission...maybe a manual.

Details...

Its a manual 93Regina. I think its for the tail lights or brake lights after looking more into it. I don't think its an original harness so that's why were are all stumped.

The wire ended up being a reverse lights. They were not connected to the twin prong connectors ontop of the transmission housing. Not much room, but when under the car, hugging the tran, I was able to reconnect them. Thanks again

Had a chance to clean up the mouse nest under the dash, and have 2 more "mystery" situations:

looks burned, anyone know what it is?

And last one, cant figure this out either. It looks like it is part of the gas pedal, but it is not. Just bad angle.

Never tried to read a diagram till now, appreciate the link

I think it could be the wiper relay... this is right by the pedal

off the top of your head, does this thing look like a wiper relay?

No worries about above, got them figured out.

Important question My original OD relay is a red relay. I was at yard and pulled a white one (from an automatic). Are they interchangeable?

Waiting to find out...

On automatics....1984 is different from 1993 electrically speaking
