I'm replacing the radio from my '87 and having to sort out the wiring adaptations - there have been several. Are these from some relic? Or are they from some other forgotten accessory? Thanks for any ideas.

Locker illumination panel.
The extra 3 wire plug and 2 brown ground wires are for a front locker, all rear locker syncros came prewired for it whether it got one installed or not.

Thanks guys - I guess that answers it. I do have a syncro and was looking for a place to wire in a switched connection for the radio. I only find 11.7 volts on that connector whereas the battery measures 12.5. Any reason or worry about that?
