Default Mystery wire
Hey guys, trying to solve another mystery. I found these two wires with female spade connectors tattooed up and tucked away. They branch off of the wires that go to the fuel level sensor. Blue/ green and black wires. Anyone know what they go to?

Wires

Branch

Looks like it's got plastic loom tape round the wiring, if it's been recovered at some time perhaps they are for somthing your car hasn't got... Tape them up on tuck them away.

or maybe you could look in your trunk and see if you can identify what it goes to...

Maybe an aftermarket cd changer in the trunk at one time. Or a sub?
