They were used to feed the now-useless "Computer Diagnosis" 
plug at the left rear of the engine compartment.

1 went to ground, as you still have.
1 went to the hot terminal, and
1 (red/yellow, with a right angle connector) went to a battery fluid 
level sensor which was built into the batteries of that era. Those 
batteries have been NLA for over 20 years. 

You can safely ignore all of them.
