Default Wires to unknown destination

I need some help from another '95 (give or take a few years) owner. I've repaired most of the wiring problems on the truck but I am stuck now with some wires I can't repair. I've posted some pics. They are on the left side of the engine compartment, near the master cylinder. They both come out of the electrical distribution box but I don't know what they should connect to... Can anybody help me with these? David

I think the plug goes to the light that's supposed to be on under the hood. And the other ones are possibly for the cruise?

the wires without the ends are supposed to be hooked up to the master cylinder. the others connect down by the fuse box.

Hmmmm.. there are no terminals in or on the master cylinder reservoir to connect to. There are three wires together... dark green with a yellow stripe (hot with key on), tan with light green stripe (no voltage) and light green (no voltage). If you look close there is also a black wire that is the same length as that bundle, but not taped together with them. Probably a ground. Any other suggestions?
I have determined that the round connector goes in a plastic "dummy" plug that is on the inner wheel well. Perhaps some kind of test port?

Just to clarify, I do see the picture in post 4. I do have an indent in the side of my reservoir, but there are no terminals/connectors/metal tangs etc inside there. It also looks like the light green wire does not connect there on your truck?

Default Update on wiring

It took me some time, but I have resolved the wiring issues. Multiple wires had been cut, maimed or modified. I ended up going to a salvage yard and picked up several connectors as well as grabbing another brake reservoir.
After getting all that done... short test drive... no 4 wheel drive!
------------------
The internal sensor inside the rear of the transfer case was defective. $120 bucks later....
------------------
Then, found the boots on the new spark plug wires are too long and are melting on the headers (long tube). Fixed that.
-----------------
Okay, it runs and shifts. Need to change the transmission fluid.
