Default wires to the shocks?

Are there wires connected to the F45 shocks?
I have the F45 "real time damping" option on my 01 coupe, and was
looking for the wires and/or connector to the shocks.

The wires attach at the base of the shock and go up to the body where they are able to be disconnected. There is also a control brain for the system in the driver side rear compartment behind the carpet panel. Just a little bit more info. If you remove the shocks and do not "fool" the computer into thinking they are there or turn off the F45 your car will not go over 80mph. This happened to me and it SUCKED big time. I have it fixed now.

I was looking at the front and rear shocks and see no wires from the bottom of the shocks. I was expecting to see some heavy gage wires with rubber strain relief for the wires.
