stripping down the harness..... buschar/ams/trackstar/stm help!

hey all, im under going some sever weight reduction..... i cant find very much info on stripping the harness. i pulled the entire thing. started with the passenger tail and i am now up to the dash, all that i want to have working is:

brake lights, turn signals, license plate lights and headlights. tach, speed, coolant temp, flashers.


i am assuming i need to leave the imobilezer and obd II port because it's still going to be on stock ecu


so some questions... what are the little connectors under the dash that dont go anywhere. there just plugged, can i cut thoose?

car is an evo8 gsr. stripped. i mean stripped.

please help me!

The best plan of faction is going to be to get a muli-meter and test which connections are which. If the connection is not connected to anything, then you can cut it as it goes to nothing...

There cant be that much weight to be saved in that haress to be worth the trouble shooting....
