Mystery plugs under dash revisited with photos

Here are some pics of the plugs I found under the dash The three pronged one is located behind the upper corner of the glove box the two prong is taped up by the blower motor. There is another plug not shown in the pics which is a 4 prong two stacked on two style if that makes sense. Its' located above the tree prong.

Could the two prong one be for the inclineometer light? I have not tested it yet.

The truck is an 1985 4x4 with no A/C and it has a factory clock in the dash and the radio is connected through the stock wiring. The truck is 100% mechanically stock otherwise.

I'm planning to add A/C to this truck next summer

check to see how many wires have what voltage and with the key at what position. that might give you a better hint.

what color are the wires?

The 4 prong is most likely AC related. 2 prong might be for the inclinometer or the glove box light. The 3 prong might be engine related. In these trucks Yota generally had 1 harness for all the gas types and another for the diesels (i think) I know from my old 22r powered 87 I had all the wiring in place to drop in a 22rte or 22re with all the toys installed as well. Don't forget AC was a dealer intalled option so the wiring harness allowed for it. Aviator

The two prong is not the Altimeter, as a sub-harness plugs the altimeter into the backlighting for the temp control.

Looks like those may be A/C related connectors, 2-wire looks like the low pressure cutoff switch:

Perhaps the other is for the A/C amplifier.
