Default what are these?

Hey everyone, I just picked up my 91 limited a little over a month ago. The previous owner was.. well.. negligent. I am the opposite. So Ive got the electric fan running again, the front hub assemblies and brakes changed, a radio in, but i have no idea what these go to. Perhaps you all can lend a hand.

what is the green and black wire harness below the grey cylinder thingy?


What did the green and black wires originally go to near the driver headlight?


this is my kentucky engineering on getting the battery...more secure than just sitting there. the battery kit only cost $8.

cant tell from the pics, but I think the wires on the side of the radiator are for the coolant switch for teh electric fan. I can get a pic of mine from the smashed renix tomorrow if I need to.

The green and black wires under the front bumper went to the fog lights.

That totally makes sense considering i had to run a wire to the accy port in the fuse box to get it to run.

any idea what i could do to make a non-functional overhead display in the 91 work? it doesnt do anything at all, no power or just dead.

Probably burnt out just like mine, I guess they had a limited lifespan from the factory. I have a '91 Limited. I even went to the junkyard to replace it and it was burnt out in the exact same fashion.

Thanks for the tips... never had fog lights or driving lights or anything. prolly is the damn fan temp sensor thingy... course its useless now that its clipped off and i have it hard wired.

still no idea what the wire harness is under the grey cylinder thingy. hell, no idea what the grey cylinder thingy is! it didnt come with a owners manual. are there any fsm's available for download?
