Default 1992 Corvette wire identification

Can anyone tell me what these wires go to? They're located in the driver side rear wheel well near the antenna.

Power antenna ground plane likely in the conduit that aren't meant to be attached to anything.

The single wire(s) in the other? Do you have something that doesn't work? They might be portions of the grounds for B/U Cornering or S/M but at a glance those all seem to be present.

Well I do have an ASR light on. My first guess was that the second image was for that, but I don't really know.

What color are the wires in the conduit. It's quite difficult to assume a position of where the conduit is. If there's multicolored wires in the conduit you're likely correct and the "hangers" in BLACK are the ground plane for the antenna!

Wire colors?

It is a single black wire.
