Default help ID these wires!

May be a long shot, but maybe someone can tell. I have the manual/wire diagrams and trouble shooting guide but i can't seem to figure these out. I don't see where either wire could go and the only items not working seem to be the clock and oil pressure guage. Any ideas what these are? One is pink/black and the other is Orange/black

When I trouble shoot loose wires, I always think why is this disconnected? Most of the time it comes down to a nuisance issue such as fasten seat belt buzzer or even the alarm system. I've seen a few bad neutral safety switch's bypassed or unhooked. Someone in the forum will be able to tell you what they belong to.

Sorry it's a78. My first thoughts are alarm or buzzer but I'm having trouble verifying that through the charts. I'll take a look again later.

I wish they made an ez diagram for 78...stops at 77!

Sadly yes, it has glass fuses. I'mlooking for some adaptors to use newer style fuses. Mine are really tight and they almost always break taking them out...almost got glass in my eye from one!

Update: i got the ez guide and these are labeled as "extra" ignition and battery. Did GM really give us spare taps for accessories? Or am i missing something here?
