Yes, as read up on many threads here, I shot it with the stream (red one to keep it more precise) and it did it's usual things like running a little rough after, but this thing sits in a garage, so after a few days of sitting around its back to running normal, dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree so I doubt I set off one more sensorPressure washing an old engine can cause a lot of strange electrical issues.
Honestly, with a weekend, an angle grinder, a welder and some steel, I think you could have it back into a state where it's safe to drive. It'll never be pretty, but if you sure up the frame and fix some mechanical issues I think you could just keep it and wheel it into the sunset.
There are few plugs back there that don't do anything on a US spec 80. I believe there was additional wiring for the ambulance style doors that they sold worldwide, except for the US. Without seeing it, I can't say for sure if that is what it is, but it could be. Do you have a wiring harness for a trailer? That is back there too.I was wondering if I could get some help, so I took the plastic cover off the inside of the rear passenger (where the subwoofer goes) and there was soooooooo much mud PACKED in there, it was like clay almost, it was wrapped around the wires and everything. So after cleaning it up, there's a white plug (connector) probably has about 5 or 6. It's pins. It's rusted out and needs to be replaced, but what is it for? It's not connected to anything, the speaker is there and has its own plug. Any help would be appreciated, thanks again guys

Damm right. I've loved all my cars that I've owned, you sound like an awesome car friend. I hope there's a LC in my future, ownership of this one was fun and tinkering with it during the lockdown was also great to have something to do. Keep on truckinGreat story and the stories matter. There are other great communities around certain vehicles. Get what you will love and that has a great community behind it. Life is too short to have a car that you don't care about and that doesn't have people around it to help you enjoy it.
