2pin plug in engine bay

I did my own wiring loom so I probably doubled up on some wires. This 2pin plug I'm speaking of is not connected to anything at the moment but the V6 we're installing tomorrow has this plug in the v6's engine wiring loom...
I'm thinking fusible link but I'm not sure!

The wire which is separate to the other two is grey - maybe a light blue (it's hard to tell).
Thankyou.

I think they run to the sender units.
I'll have to check my 3300, its untouched so the wires should be fine.

Here is a pic of the plug I'm talking about :
The plug is taped into the wiring loom and comes out the same place as the engine harness plug (it sits right beside it near the brake booster in the engine bay).
I noticed on the plug that it also says B C A - corresponding to each terminal of the plug.
(I know my engine bay is nice and clean! )

I'm running a trimatic atm out of a UC - It kicks down by itself but I don't think there's a switch fitted as factory.
Thanks to everyone who responded!

here it is mate, one wire is the negative wire for the tacho, the other goes to a pinkish wire that goes down into the main harness on the engine as you can probably see. I can investigate tomorrow

Interestingly, just looked at the gregory's diagram for the UC and they show all of this as one big 9 terminal connector, how confusing is that. Obviously the Lh was just a six terminal connector(and they had plenty left over) and went with those and an additional 3 way.
Re kick down switch, all traumatics have them afaik. It is a switch that is attached to the accelerator pedal bracket and is triggered when it gets near the floor, hence the name. It is electrically connected to a solenoid on the transmission,none of the wires go through the engine compartment.
Re the tacho wire, yes it easier to put the same loom in all of them.
Not unlike some home electronics where higher models had more features, but the units were all identical on the inside, just provision had been made with a switch for the feature etc.

Anyway, as I stated previously, the pink wire(s) are for connection to the daisy chain of items that make up the emission controls as well as the idle solenoid, and they get power when in the start and on mode.
