Default What do these connectors go to?

There are 2 connectors coming off of one harness under my passenger headlight. Near where the horn is, they are loose and not hooked to anything. its not for the horns or headlight any other ideas?

Would help to know what year and model you have. If C5 Z06 my guess is fog lights but if you are not the original owner it could be an add on from the previous owner for almost anything - underglow neons?

Its 1 harness with 2 connectors coming off of it and rests in under the passenger headlight area. I know because I removed the headlight to do something else and found it. I can take a pic later and have someone host it. All of those features you mentioned work already the outside temp, under hood light, horns, headlights so its not that

It's really hard to say. Like said earlier, it could have been an add-on that was removed. It's weird the harness would still be hanging there though. Check to see where the rest of the wiring goes? Does your car have fog lights?

Hi There:
Put a test light on the connectors & see if you have power.Chances are you don't have it, then it must have powered a after market item, which is no longer being used.If you have power is your hood light working?Is your outside air temp. working?BTW: Fill out your profile.

I removed my headlights a long time ago (over 6 months) to go to flush mount and totally forgot what that harness was for!

Thank you im positive this is it if the module holds 2 connectors
