Default Wiring loom help please

Evening rs faithful. Today i started going through my old rs turbo loom making repairs etc to put it back into my car. I had removed an alarm from it a while back when i had striped the car to bare shell (about yr and half ago) and now i cant remember a couple bits i forgot to label.

Ok, first up the fuel pump relay. Can anybody tell me what the thick black wire thats been cut is for and where it should run to please...


Next up, is this yellow plug. Does anybody recognise it? Nothing seems to plug into it...



Any help much appreciated. And if some clever sod gets it all right, they can then be given the hard question which is a thin brown wire thats been cut but ive no idea, its coming out of the bulk of the loom near to fuse box

At a guess i'd say the black cable form ther relay is an earth, and the other pluglooks similar to the diagoistic plug on my saff?

Take the haynes it's all there. look at the diagram. find reley there and you'll be able to follow them leads.
Could give you a link to download the manual if you wish.

The yellow plug goes nowhere (but there is one more similar there and it goes to the horn switch on the steering column, if that ones connected, then forget the other one)
