Default Wire Spaghetti Console

fished the wires up from beneath the central console where they haven't been connected up in a while. did a little test to see which ones were live and about four were, purple ones and two white/black ones. there are a good number without homes and a few with odd connectors. got to figure my way back through the Wire Spaghetti .. like one of those maze puzzles you follow with a pen to get out. i like the process of elimination and the avoidance of shocks or fire. Here's some pictures any how.

I have a few colour charts, most are fairly directive and clear, but a few things don't loan themselves to explanation readily.
like orange wires (with tracers red/green) not recorded on the chart and a plug for 'dash light' a long way from the dash. and some daisy chain loops no clear direction.
most things follow logics, just a few oddities.

orange/red & orange / green are for the door lock solenoid relay, dash light (purple (cigar) & purple/white(interior) & red/white) are for the gear shift light & fiber optic distribution....is there a pic of the "daisy chain"? or mark an arrow on the picture.......

ah yes, i should have known the orange/red/green ones as when i latter found the 'button' it had a few attached, thanks for that. i can't figure why some of them have odd connections on the end tho, would have thought they'd all connect to the switch in some manner (see picture)
a connector with a plug (two wires, ground black and a red/white one)
and a single black one with a bullet connector as well (see new pictures)


the button wit the remaining connectors

the solenoid orange/red/greens and the a black grey one with various connectors.

that rough black one with a female bullet head

the two pin with red/white wire

red/white (black earth) feeds the fiber optic unit which should be near the gear shift, keep in mind that not all wiring is used as - looms are interchanged with different models, obviously some connectors have been changed to after market, bullet connector will take or supply power to another connector, the one that looks like a bullet looks more like a broken F spade, orange/green (X2) one from door lock switch to W2 door lock relay then w1 from relay to door lock solenoids........you mentioned you have some colour schematics, home made or purchased from?

schematics, printed off the internet, i think they're for more than one model perhaps as some times exact and other times not.

fibre optics stuff no longer in this car so would explain way the plug has sat vacant

actually i think i might be using the wrong terms, what i have is colour chart listing wire colour rather than a true wiring schematics, see attached.
