Default Help Identifying Front End Wires (Photos Attached)

I had to replace several front end pieces on my 98 s70 as a result of an accident a few months ago. The car has been in my garage where I have been working on it a little at time. I almost have all my replacement parts back on, but since it was a while back when I dismantled, I forget where some of the front end wires/connectors go. I know I should have marked or taped the wires in the beginning (lesson learned.)

Anyway, I need some help in knowing where the connectors with "red arrows” go (see photos). I know the "green arrows” are the main headlamp connectors, but not sure where I pulled these others from. The photos with the two "red arrows" is the driver's side. Appreciate the help.

I have a 98 non turbo, I think the brown ones are for the headlight wiper motor mine are disconnected so I only see the male. The other one on the driver side might connect to the air pump?.

I am also pretty sure the BROWN are for the headlight wiper motors. ^^^^

Thanks for the response to my question about identifying wires on my s70. You mentioned one wire going to the air pump, where would I find where it plugs in?
Thanks

Also, I don't have the headlight wipers, so I guess I don't do anything with the (brown) wires?

Thanks

Heres what I have- note I have been told I have an "odd" setup.. I have 1 big wire roll with 2 wires coming out at the 1st split. one goes to headlight and the other to the air pump connector- this one is grey male. The large roll continues and has the wiper connect-brown, another connect to some controller or splitter on the upper driver corner of the fan shroud, then a long connection to the AC relay which has 3 inputs, this one goes to the input on the far passenger side.

Does this help at all?

Specifically regarding the air pump- I replaced last summer. As I recall there is a connection on the air pump bracket itself, then another lead from there that leads to the metal in front of the battery tray with a grey to grey connection. What is really confusing is that it looks like the connector you are trying to identify, terminates right there

Hey, was under the S70 today and the Grey may go to foglights. Mine does not have foglights and terminates to a very similar looking cap. On the passenger side, it clips to the wiper washer reservoir
