Can someone please help me and tell me what these connectors go to. It's on an 1989 k3500 manual transmission with a 454.
I had pictures of all the wires and where they went but my phone went swimming and I lost everything.ive got most everything thing else figured out but these.
The white plug has only 3 wires that look to be a black, purple, and white wires.
The other one appears to be dark green and black

The 4 plug connector is for a 700R4 auto transmission. It controls TCC lockup. Not sure why you have that as your post says you have a manual trans.

The two plug connector looks like the 4wd indicator light connector.

Air injection uses the same two pin connector.

The air injection connector is already accounted for...and I figured out the four hole connector....it's for my 4 wheel drive solenoid on the front axle....I do have a manual transmission and it's not been touched, neither has the transfer case so any connectors to those items are still hooked up. The only one left in question now is that two prong connector. I have no idea what it goes to

Your stock fuel tank being TBI also has a 2-cavity weatherpack connector as well.

The only other thing I can think of is your reverse light switch on the trans

Well I finally got them figured out. The white four prong connector goes to the front axle...not the four wheel drive solenoid. The two prong connector goes to the four wheel drive solenoid. Now the question i i have is exactly what could the front axle have that needs power to it? The only power requirement would be the solenoid

Not at all familiar with that vintage, but does it have ABS?

No it's a K3500 1989. The solenoid is the one that engages the 4x4 in the front axle
