Hello. I was working on my 1G, making a heat shield and after I started removing the fan and disconnecting alternator, I found these random 3 random connectors that were either disconnected, broken or blocked.

Blue one is connected male and female but broken off.
Yellow one is a female L shape balljoint (???) connector.
Red one is just a regular connector.

None of these have their respective partners that they should connect to.

After I saved my baby frkm the last owner, everytime I fix anything, I find gore. This sounds like it wasnt stock and one of his shenanigans.

OMG THANKS! Now that makes sense why my oil gauge was wonky. It worked but it was random. I assume some of these are important, no?

Where can I find the appropriate connectors for all of these. As I said before, I looked around multiple times and couldnt find anything. I am really hoping that they just didnt get deleted for no reason because previous owner couldnt deal with it properly.
 
Generally nice to have them connected but, so long as everything is mechanically sound, they should not pose any issues if they remain disconnected.

Oil pressure dummy light connector attaches to this switch on the oil filter housing.

Oil pressure gauge unit is this, larger bell shaped thing hanging off the oil filter housing. I cannot tell if what you have pictured is the actual end that attaches to the gauge unit or not. Originally, there was an intermediate connector and about 1 foot of single wire that attached to it and ran to the gauge unit. That harness is no longer available but here’s one member’s version, nicely salvaged and reused

Power steering pressure switch is a little nipple that looks like this. That picture shows a 2G, the 1G nipple should be more on the front side of the pump.

Note that the links provided here are all of a 2G but the switch, sender, and nipple are all generally in the same place for a 1G.

Here are the switch and sender unit on the oil filter housing on a 1G non-turbo oil filter housing:

Thanks! Found everithing and fixed the broken connections. In two years of having my car, ive never seen engine check light or fuel pressure light. After turning keys to ignition, I can see them in full glory!

I know I should probaly create another thread for that, but by any chance, do you know where I could find dashboard light meanings? I saw a picture in general manual, but they were indistinct. The only distinguishible light was low fuel, which I did nkt even know that this car had. It never lit up
 
Created this a while back, not sure I ever posted it. And I’m 99% certain on all locations except the <A/T> marked ones as I don’t have an automatic to verify.

I had these stashed away. I think they match Brian's.
