HELP! No start; extra wires

1996 Bronco


I just pulled the dash & replaced the skin with one I got from the junkyard. In the process, I had to unplug many wires & now I'm trying to put them all back together. Right now, the dash is back in & I've got everything buttoned up, except for 3 wire connections that are hanging loose.
One, I know is for my rear defroster switch (I need to get a replacement instrument trim piece before I can install it) and the other two I have no idea, and worse yet, I can't find a place to plug them!!!


The truck will turn over, but won't start. I can't help but think this is because of these wires. PLEASE, help me identify these and diagnose my no-start. Everything worked fine before I took the dash out.

The connector in the center might be for the electronic 4x4 switches.
The connector to the right looks like it's for the chime module.

Get some schematics and look at the connector wire colors for the various modules under the dash.
