Those wires go to the aux fan temp switch in the r/s head. Black is ground, blue goes to the aux fan. Here's my 82. A green dot is on the temp switch.

I bought an L82 starter extension harness for my L48 80, thinking I'd be able to do something clever with those two wires. My fusable links were burned out, and the price was the same for either.

81-82 appear to all be the same part, and connector, if you want to see what it looks like, or replace it all at once.
