Anyone know what these wires are for?
So I have these two wires with Nuts on them underneath my front driver's side wheel well. One orange, one black, and they disappear into the wiring harness. Seems like there was probably some piece of equipment here at some point but now it's gone. Anyone know? Thanks

Hi T,
Which harness are the wires coming out of... the engine harness or the forward lighting harness?
Regards,
Alan

On my car, there are a lot of things that don't work. I'm actually not sure which harness it is, I was laying on the ground trying to take the picture because I can't see it from up above (and don't have ramps to get the car up higher).

My wipers actually work. However, the fluid doesn't, if that gives any clue (but that whole system with the bag and everything is missing, so not surprising).

Hi t,
Even if the bag, hoses, and fluid are missing you should still hear the washer pump cycle when you push the wiper switch in.
Instead of play 20 questions you might make a list of what doesn't work.

backup lights and tail lights work (as far as I know) because they seem to work at night...however, I could be wrong.

radio works
blinkers work
alarm doesn't work (never tried it, but would assume it doesn't)

i have removed my T400 and gone the 700r4 route, so mine are just tucked behind the heat shield.
the switch where the wires plug on my old t400

your alarm probably does not work because of the door switches or hood switch or the alarm switch where the key is. May be a bad horn , (usually near the antenna base), or could be a relay. It easy to check out when you understand how it operates. The door switches are different from the other door switch(usually 2 switches on each door, for 2 different operations). Or it could be wiring disconnected like the wiring shown here!!!
