Default Need Help Identifying 2 Electrical Connectors (Behind Bumper)

Good evening everyone! Long story short, I bought a 2000 C5 project car. Previous owner was having a single turbo kit built but gave up. I bought the car as-is, will be removing all the turbo stuff and going back NA. Seeing as how I’m taking over halfway through someone else’s work, I need help identifying a couple electrical connectors behind the front bumper.

1. Passenger Side near junction/bundle of wires.







2. Driver Side near projector light.





Thank you for any help you can provide!

The connector in the first group of pictures on the passenger side is for the horn assembly.
The second connector on the drivers side is for the AIR pump.

Gary, THANK YOU! I remember seeing the horns in the box of parts included with the car and I never thought of that! The AIR pump has been removed so I’ll just secure that connector up out of the way.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Make sure that your OAT sensor is still connected. It also has a two wire connector like that blue one and it is low on the front of the passenger side under the facia.

Yes, the air temp sensor mounts to radiator shroud, it is a black connector which from the pictures is connected.

If your OTS is not connected, or bad, I believe you will have a constant 65* reading on your outside temp display no matter what the outside temp is.
