Wires up inside deckled area....

3rd and final mystery wire(s) question....

This particular pair of wires seem to have no place to connect to.

I have removed the factory 996 decklid and electric tail.

Then put on a different decklid and tail (non-electric).

Now, months later, I can't seem to find the location where these two
wires would go.

I tried giving them power (jumper box) to see if it fired up the fan, or
the engine bay light etc... but get absolutely nothing.

Anybody know what these wires are/were used for?
A BIG pre-thanks!

Looks like the wires that run the motor to lift the decklid at speed.

I agree. My guess is that they are the wires that connected to your original rear spoiler. You've removed that spoiler, so now there's no place to connect the wires.
