Talking What are these?

Hey y'all, I was hoping someone could inform me as to what these wires are. I bought my ranger a while back and haven't done much to it, but while looking it over I found all these random wires among other things. I could easily deduce where some of them came from and what they were, but these were the ones I'm not positive about. I believe the first pic is of the trailer hitch harness, as there doesn't seem to be one, but I'm not sure. The second pic looks like the hookup for some valence fog lights, but I don't have a valence with fogs so again, I don't know lol Also, there is what appears to be an after market horn, I checked and it's not hooked up to anything. I tried fiddling with it and it's in a crazy tight spot. I don't exactly know what to do with it but I think I wanna hook it up somehow and see what it sounds like. Any ideas? Thanks fellas, I appreciate it!

Also, that's my ranger. I've done a little bit of cosmetic work to it since I got it. I've painted the fender flairs and running boards, I've installed aftermarket headlights, and tinted the window (which were tinted when I bought it, but had 3 different types of tint!).

The one out the back Is for the trailer light connector that someone ripped apart the one up front looks like it's for the little running light not sure what the other stuff is

I'd guess the connector at the front bumper is to connect the truck tail and brake lights to a motorhome while it's being towed.

That horn looks like an air horn. Is there a compressor on the other end of that hose?

Unfortunately it's not hooked up to anything. I've searched all over and can't find anything even closely resembling a compressor, which is a shame because I would love to have/use an air horn lol Any idea where I can get a compressor for cheap?
