Wire connections under the dash

I have tried to get a picture on this but got nothing that was useful, so I am gonna try this again a slightly different way.

Under the dash by the steering column I have 2 sets of grey connections, 1 is for the turn signal switch, the other one is the one that I have no idea on and need help with. It was ripped apart accidentally on the female side. I either need a pic or the color order on the plug. The truck is a 1984 ford f250 351W non tilt and non cruise control. As it sits right now because of this plug I have no turn signals/hazzards nor break lights in the rear. can anyone please tell me the female side of this connector so I can just bypass the connector and use but connectors to reconnect these wires. The connector is a curved grey , with 7 ports on top and 4 on the bottom.

Not always but most of the time each connector has the same color wire going through the connection. So if you find a lightgreen wire on the one connector, it usually hooks to the lightgreen on the other connector.

Is this not the case for this connector pair?

If you have 2 sets of those curved grey connectors it sounds like it was set up for speed control. It just inserts between the plug half on the steering column and the half in the main harness. Pictures would really help
Component Testing - ???Gary's Garagemahal
Again this is for an 86 but should give you most of what you need. Page 148 under component testing. Pins marked 511 and 296 are to do with speed control and my truck colours on 511 do not match
Would have to go through my shed notes to ID the rest of the pins. The numbers alongside the colour codes are circuit numbers and show up the various diagrams, such as turn and hazard drawings.

Blackduck59, So after looking up some things after what you had said about the speed control, It does look like my truck is supposed to have it. But the last people to have owned the truck well lets just say that they did some things that were not reasonable and just dismantled things that didn't need to be. And so with that said, I saw a box under the dash and had no idea what it was for, but after your post I looked into it and BAM! that box is the control for the speed sensor. I am partly color blind so I am gonna have my wife look at the wires and see if they actually match up in color. If so I will just connect them back up and hopefully fix this issue. Then I guess I need to figure out how to get the cruise control back and working again. Thank you for that tidbit of info that got me going in the right path.

Pin 511 is also the brake light feed to the switch.
