Wire identification

Can anybody help me identify theses two wires. They are located behind the gauges near the master cylinder. My brake lights went out and rear turn signals. Also emergency hand brake light came on. I noticed these two wire shredded maybe by a mouse I can not find a place they connected to maybe the yellow connector but doesn’t seem right.

The receptacle side comes from your brake master cylinder wiring. The plug side that has chewed off wires comes from the through body harness where the yellow wire for the starter solenoid connects.
Brown/White runs to the handbrake switch in the through body harness.
Black Green is the power to the brake lights and runs through the same harness to the passenger tail light plug, then back over to the driver’s tail light plug.

This is from an 82, but yours will be similar.
