I've had these disconnected for a while now. So long in fact I don't remember what the crap they were for? FYI this is an 07 SM, CA model that used to have all the EVAP crap. Air box is long gone also. Sooooo...... any takers on where the went? (The ones circled in green, not the brake sw connection.) Also what about the carb heater wiring, I don't have em connected, don't really need em. So where is a good point to terminate the wires?

Ok I'll take a guess. I think they attach to the airbox. If I recall correctly when I took mine out. No idea what they do. That was helpful huh??!!

I'm pretty sure those wires went to the evap can. Although I didn't have one, I do have those connectors as everyone does or did at one time. Hope this helps.

I believe this was discussed awhile back on here and the general consensus was, they had something to do with Kalifornia emission dohickeys. My '06 has them too, and I looked for something to plug them into as well, and there just isn't anything there.

Well, in the name of experimentation, I clipped em off. No ill side effects as of yet.

as Marty wrote, "There is power to them when the key is on." be sure to insulate them.
