Anyone know where/what these cables go to? Found them tucked under the brake booster awhile after I bought the car, go figure!

Re: Cables from the firewall??

According to my RPO codes mine didn't come with cruise control and I do not have the vacuum lines for and the bracket on the throdle wire doesnt have a spot for cruise. But my turn signal rod has cruise on it and the wires and bushing on the firewall look factory. Wonder if the owner was trying to add it or what...

What do they go to inside the car? Looks like a job someone did once before you owned it.

From looking at the wiring diagrams it looks like the plug should go to the fog light relay in the underhood electrical center.

No fog light RPO code, no fog light switch, and louver style grill.. Granted, doesnt mean someone didnt try to add it or change it.

Just follow them inside the car, that will be the biggest clue.
