What are these?
HI,
I found these 2 connectors loose in my engine bay, one burn and the other with a loose nut right on top(bronze in color). Anybody know what they are? Any help appreciated.

Re: What are these?
The one in the left photo is for an aftermarket, mechanical temperature gayge.
The connector in the right photo looks like it might go to the coolant temperature sensor.
Edit: The connector in the right is for the radiator fan switch.

The bulbous tube would be threaded into a bung in your intake. Likely got changed at some point.

Re: What are these?
Got t. Thanks I will need to find the bung. It make sense that the 2nd pic in for the radiator fan switch since the previous owner of the car put a switch to manually turn off/on.
