Wiring help!

Hello friends! After getting the 84 turbo coupe cleaned out today i proceeded to repair the wiring nightmare that is due to rodents. I disconnected the main engine/ power harness and pulled it through the firewall and into the cockpit. There I started to clip off the chewed ends and expose more of the wires. Out of 42, I believe, wires i have to reconnect 38! From looking at them they all seem to be a color to color match and patch except I have found two wires to be the exact same color and stripe, purple with white. Any ideas on this one? Or better yet a good wiring schematic of this bad boy?

thanks

I have the Big Book wiring diagram for an 88. The only purple wire I see in the engine harness goes to the TFI. But It's just purple. I see a purple/white stripe for the brake warning light and a couple of purple/white strip for the power seats.
They now sell stand-alone EEC to engine wire harnesses. you might want to just look at replacing what you have with a new one. They come with all new plugs and connectors.

I picked up an original 84 EVTM for her. You are correct on the wires. They are for the brake warning light. I am now running unto a wiring problem, three yellow with red stripe, where I have yet to look in the manual.
