The first and second pictures, for whatever reason, I can't place that connector. It's a red with black and a green wire, correct? Perhaps someone else can pop in with what it is. EDIT: This plug has no connection; it is not meant to be connected to anything per the FSM. See post #7 below.

As for the others, there are a couple switches on your clutch, one for the starting circuit and the other for the cruise control. Each has a two-pin connector. That for the starting circuit has black and green with black wires; it is the one pictured on the right side of picture 4. The one for the cruise control is the black and black with red wired connector on the left of picture 4 and the focus of picture 3.

In picture five, you have circled one of the clutch switches. That one is for the starting circuit as it requires the pedal to be depressed to contact the switch and start the car. Without the connector plugged in, however, this will not be the case.

Picture 6 is the two wires for the cruise control... control switch or panel.

Yes you are right those are the colors but I don't know where they are coming from and where do they go
So pics 3 and 4 is the cruise control plug no wander why it's not working.
Pics 5 it's the clutch switch but I can turn on the car without pressing the switch so it is disconnected maybe one of the above plugs are the clutch switch
And pics 6 is the cruise control but where they are supposed to go?
 
Pic 6, I was slightly mistaken. Check the "wand" cruise control switch on your steering column. That is it on one end. The other end, if you follow the diagram below, goes to a couple places. The box on the bottom of the diagram is the cruise ECU.

The connector in pic 3 and 4 is for the cruise control switch on your clutch pedal. If your cruise control worked and it were in use, blipping the clutch pedal would cut off the cruise control.

As I mentioned for pic 5, when that switch is connected (i.e., the black and green with black wired connector is plugged into it), the clutch pedal must be pressed to start the car. With it unplugged, pressing the clutch pedal to start the car is not necessary.

That should do it for ya.

Still wish I knew about that connector with the red and green wires. This isn't the first time someone has asked about it and the particular instance I remember no one knew what it was for: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/maintenance-repairs/408037-no-idea-where-these-plugs-go.html. See Edit below.

Maybe someone who knows will decide to chime in.

EDIT: This plug has no connection; it is not meant to be connected to anything per the FSM. See below.
