Default Also these…

Also trying to figure these out my dummy self didn’t take photos of them before they came off…. Why the difference and which wire goes where as I only have 2 wires in each engine harness one is light blue other is brown with maybe a white stripe…

That does not look like any TBIV connector I remember.

You will have to figure out colors from the positions in the plug. I'll see if I can find one to post a picture of.

The top one also has a temp sender. Generally not a great idea to hang all that stuff on a nipple. They have a tendency to crack.

those blue connectors need to be shrunk for them to work they are heat shrink and shrinking makes the watertight seal
