Where might these go?

Anybody know what the red and orange wire might be connected to? Right side of the car near the AC relay. TIA.

no clue.. but they could be diagnostic wires... the orange one, i was going to say it could be juice for your computer, but since you're running, it's not... could also be that it was bypassed...

I just bought the thing a few months ago and am putting everything back original. In other words, un-doing all that the PO butchered. I've got a cooling issue and just thought this may be part of it. Thanks for the reply.

The orange wire looks like the underhood lamp. The red looks like the fuel pump prime. If you apply a 12v source to it, it should kick on the fuel pump.

I'll give it a go, thanks very much. Should there be anything attached to the red fuel pump wire?
