Default What Are These Connectors

While working on 2023 LRST I found these connectors and was wondering is anyone can let me what these are:

1. Connector1 - on back if battery area?


2. Connector2 - I think is for the heated grips?

The bottom one is the Heated Grip plug. When you install a set of heated grips, one of the leads from the grip will plug into this.
The first pic I dont know but I think that may be the connector for tuning devices and digital tech/diagnostics. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

The diagnostic port is this on the left side of the bike

You may be able to ID by the wiring color;

Is this connector located in the frame cavity? I am in the process of installing heated grips and it would be very easy to hook them up if it is already on the motorcycle. I have not seen this connector in the electrical drawings but would like to know what circuit it comes from.

I agonized over the heated grip plug when i discovered it after a bar removal. Yes, it is for a heated grip.

According to the schematic Rigid Thumper linked, Blue/Violet is left rear turn signal. Green/Blk is ground.
