Simple for those who know! Please identify these connectors

Hello Pelicans,
My Dad and I picked up an 85 Targa a few years ago (7-8 years ago). It has been at his place up until recently when they moved. I have helped my dad with some work on it here and there (interior door handles, shifter bushings, front struts etc). While checking the oil level today, i noticed that a connector was crudely being held in place by a piece of wire. I have been looking online for references to these wires but came up empty. There are 3 connectors (circled) - what are they for? Hope he takes it back with him because i can see the Targa pushing back my own project car

thanks for the help!

borrowed a pic online for help with this.

Yes, that is from the Bentley manual. Buy a copy if you don't have it, it is very helpful.
