After studying the AC kit diagrams and reading the motor controller documentation from Azure Dynamics, I think I understand a little better what all these relays and terminal strips are for.

There was a tremendous amount of dust and other dirt in there that I cleaned out with an old worn-out toothbrush.

I cleaned this up today by taking out the two seats, pulling forward the upholstery in front of the firewall and drilling a hole for the serial cable. For some reason, I had an extra cap-plug left over from the kit, so I used it to protect the cable from the sharp metal edges.
