    Dangling Connectors: What are these and where do they go?

    These two connectors were found right under the brake master cylinder, covered in fluid. One has what looks like a jumper and the other was just dangling down by the steering gearbox next to the exaust. (Not good).

    BTW: My dash looks like a Christmas Tree...

    Anyway, I'm just looking to clean these guys up and put them where they go.

    Thanks guys.

    One under the brake booster is for servotronic steering (which you most likely do not have). The one with the jumper in it appears to be for the auxiliary water pump. (Wires should be red-blue with yellow stripe and brown)

    If you disconnect the shorting loop, you will get an error message telling you where it belongs. When I did it it gave an error message telling that some oil level was low. Just try it, it will not hurt your car. The other one looks like the one monitoring the motor oil pressure. At least the connector looks the same.
