Default 98 C5 Conv wiring ID

Hi All, hoping someone in the group can help me identify these 2 wires coming out of my fuse block. po had the one with no end to ground, and the one with the connector running to constant 12v im a little on the colorblind side, and not very good with wiring, so im reaching out, and hopefully this is a mod thats been done by others so i can get some direction on it. I put the connectors on so theyre not floppping around. yes, i could just hook em up, but i sure dont want to damage anything. TIA

Is this the under hood fuse box? Kind of looks like it but want to make sure. What is the red wire connected to on the other end of what is shown in the picture?
Also where are you located. If in the Disneyland area of SoCal, I can look at this in person.

Since these wires seem to go nowhere, I would remove them.
Does everything work in the car?
