Greatly appreciate our help my ***.

Please, no need to yell when you get an obvious suggestion. You asked for help, here it is. If your not sastisfied, and want to continue to tell us what we do or don't have on our cars, go get a book and figure it out yourself.

That's the ONLY thing that will have an electrical wire actually attached to the hood(from the factory, anyways). If you find some way to attach it to the louvers, let us know.

Re: Cables hanging from under hood

Does your wires/harness look something like the attachments below Then you are probably missing the under hood light as JamesC suggested.

Also, take a look on the inside cover of the center console. There should be a list of RPO codes. If one of the codes is U26 then you should have an under hood lamp as shown in the attachments below.

Welcom to TGO

Do your "hanging wires" inluded an inline fuse with a connector on the end See photo below.......

Post a few pics of what you have so we can get it hooked up.
