Default Another Electrical Question

Before I button up my center shifter console for good AGAIN (I hope), I want to at least identify a couple orphan wires. I do have the 1975 wiring schematic, and have followed it closely, but somewhere along the line some of these wires have been changed out or new ones have been put in.

For instance the brown and white combo is supposed to be for the starter. The starter works fine. In fact I have nothing, aside from my reverse lights, that doesn't function properly unless I'm missing something.

I know it may be impossible for you to ID these from the photos, as I can't figure them out in person, with the schematic. But a shot in the dark is better than no shot at all.

So... Let's play ID that wire. Any ideas guys?












It may be that I don't have to worry about them, because everything seems to work, but I'd hate to close it all back up and have to take everything back out AGAIN to try to trace something down again.

Thanks for taking the time to try to help. I appreciate it.

Yeah... Like I said shot in the dark. That rats nest is no fun. But I guess if it's (almost) all working, why not bury it.

If any body has any clues, especially about the three pink wire connector, that'd help. None are constant power.

If not, thanks again for just taking a look.

How does it have errors? Does this imply that the assembly workers put it together without consulting the book?
