Default Identify this Harness Plug

I’ve searched but could not identify this harness at each end of my dash area. I do not have power mirrors or front speakers. My Haynes manual and the wiring diagrams I’ve acquired on the forum do not show this harnesses. I’ve also got a two wire, (orange & black), at glovebox end I’m trying to figure out that is not the glove box light. This was pretty much apart when I acquired it and slowly getting it back together. Thanks in advance.


Passenger side

Driver side

I'm pretty sure the top one is speaker clip that should be there whether or not the option was chosen. The other one might be a defroster clip (see if it reaches that area on the tunnel side panel). If you check your A.I.M. (assembly manual) it gives wire colors.
Hopefully, others will chime in as well since I'm not 100%.

The green, blue and black wires are both the same harness, with location on left and right side.

I checked the wiring schematics and the colors did not match the mirror harness colors. They are both the same with green, blue and black, (one on the left and one on the right). I’ll look it over again. Thanks

The two conductor (orange-black) connector near the right side of the glove box is for the passenger side illuminated visor vanity mirror. I believe it was standard in '81. That said, my '79 with green interior had the option pack that included such but it's not there because they weren't made in green. I don't know if there was any similar case in '81.

Thank you Mike. That gets me one step closer. I’ve pretty much given up on the other harness. I don’t think I’ll need it as all the lights work and the alarm is not active. Do you think the three wire connector on each side could be for the factory alarm?
