Default engie harness swap

I have a 96 firebird with a v6 and i replaced the engine with a ls1 2000 engine and harness. there are 2 plugs left I have no idea what it goes too.


this single purple wire i believe is for the battery and the big plug i have no idea whats it for due to my body on the passenger side has only 2 plugs that are pluged up. so could someone let me know if i was right about the single purple wire and please tell me what is the big plug for. thanks

The purple is the starter button, the PED1 PED2 numbers are just packard electronics division markings for the manufacture of the connectors.

I also do not believe you can just connect the plugs, and have everything work correct, you need to verify the pinouts for each. (10 pin connector that is connected, H and J are the same, for both LS1 and LT1/V6 cars, for the high and low speed fan ground circuits)

I hate to rain on your parade, but your gonna have to pull the harness back out or at least do some changes to the harness. Although the plugs plug in. The wires are in different locations and circuts are entirely different between the LS1 and LT1. THat purple wire needs to go in the interior to connect to the purple wire in the flat four pin connector under the dash.
