it's kinda back together but nothing noticeable changed...
maybe it being detached had something to do with my ac frying out?

No the ac inhibit, #2, is visible in your pic, to the right of the yellow linkage. Dunno what that is from memory

Off topic but important: One thing I would recommend to you, Rainypotato ~ is replace your top & bottom radiator hoses soon, before they burst.

Thanks Falco, amazed you know this from that wee photo...on it. I have a renewed affection for this van once the tranny replacement when mostly well...at least I have reverse again...now if only I could figure out the nss replacement...
I suppose reconnecting all the sheared wires will be a good idea, but I am so disappointed when I just can't notice a difference...

It's the criss-cross pattern on the hose. On a new hose you shouldn't see that and the more pronounced it gets the more likely they will fail. When I first got my Chamonix (15 years old at that time) I was so impressed with everything that I thought the pattern on the hoses were due to some hi-tech Japanese kevlar composite, until it was pointed out to me by Glen at CCAutos that this was not the case. Since then there have been a few threads written involving burst rad hoses. The thought occurred to me so I mentioned it.
Regarding the mystery items on the IP: Have you checked the manuals in the L300 Dedicated Category Reference Forum?

Thanks for picking up on that Falco...I'll take it to Napa tomorrow.
I have tried with the manuals, but all things electric make me cross eyed, I thought a quick photo may reveal an answer...alas it did re: rad hose. Important.
I'll find some patience and will go over the manuals again...
