My FJ60 previously had a V8 swap and I'm finishing up my diesel swap. There are a half dozen connectors by the drivers side fender in the engine bay that have long since been forgotten.

Most of them have switched power going to them still, so I would like to use them. I would like to know what fuses i'll be blowing before I do. Can anyone tell me what each plug is?

Also, just out of the bottom of the photo there is a connector with large gauge wire. 1 white and 1 red.

#5 is the vacuum switch for the decel fuel cut circuit on the Aisin carb. #1 looks like the carb fan connector. #2 AC idle up. #3 looks like brake master cylinder fluid level sensor. #4&6 probably went to VSVs for the emissions.

Thanks! #3 if you look closely also has 2 cut wires next to it. I'll try grounding #3 white connector and check if the brake light comes on.

I should have mentioned it started off as a 1986 FJ60 if that makes any difference.

Right now I just have a vacuum shutoff solenoid to wire in and it would be nice to not run more wire. There are still wires on the other side of the engine bay from the old V8 that I need to sort out as well, but this is a good start.

Thanks again.
 
Just out of the bottom of the photo there is a green connector with large gauge wires, 1 white and 1 red. Any guess on that one? I'll get another photo when I get a chance.

Also, I am going to use one of the connectors to power a shutoff solenoid. I noticed that there was still ~20mV at the wire when connected to chassis ground. Zero voltage when grounded thru the factory wiring ground. 20mV might eventually drain the battery, but the main problem was that the 20mV was enough to keep the solenoid activated. I don't feel like figuring out how to activate each individual ground, so I'm going to try just adding a LED in series with the ground. This will hopefully to a stop to the 20mV.
 
My green connector with the large wires is for the headlight washer reservoir pump. it is round
