Default anyone know what these wires are?


Does anyone know what these wires are on a 1978 corvette? The cut ones and the one with the connector.

My first thought would be turn signal and park light wiring ,like someone cut off the harmonica connector.
Second thought with the wide variety of colors would be radio and speaker wiring.

but I would expect to find them on the other side of the column closer to the stereo.

Did a PO swap out the stock stereo?

Looking at the wiring diagram you've got most of the speaker colours cut off in that bunch.
