That last one runs back to the transmission I believe for the neutral switch. I have it dangling in my engine bay and I just happened to go digging through the FSM wiring diagrams today trying to figure out what it's for

Its an s4 turbo(see sig). Does that first 6 pin connector have anything to do with the body lights? My hazards wont turn off and theres some crazy electrical things going on. Some lights work some dont. Im trying to properly repair the previous owners mess.

I wouldn't worry about that first one. Those plugs are some kind of diagnostic connector or something. Looks just like the one on the drivers side clipped near the main fuses. There are plenty of these unknowns just exposed on the bays of our cars.

Start off fixing the gremlins by checking the fuses inside. I remember a bad room fuse does all types of weird crap.

Edit:
That first one you don't have to worry about. However, it isn't a diagnostic connector, it seems to be the adjustable suspension harness, which doesn't matter to you anyway.

First picture is for the Auto Adjust Suspension. Even if your car did not have this feature the plug will still be there near the right and left strut towers. See page 50-81 of the 88 wiring diagrams.

There are NOT that many pages of plugs in that manual. Simply look at the plug in question and the wire colors then page thru the wiring manual. Use common sense and you won't have to look at that many pages. IF the plug is in the engine bay you won't want to look at the pages for the rear wiper. Right? Right.
