Post wire identification

The previous owner of my 76 911S left a portion of the wiring harness laying in the engine bay, it has 2 brown wires and 1 yellow and black wire contained in a black plastic sheathing. It appears as though at one time the ends were lengthened with 2 white wires and electrical connectors. I think the two brown wires were tied together for the 1 white wire and the black and yellow wire had the other white extension on it. The trouble is, I have no idea where they go. Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks, Chris

Brown wires are ground, which leaves you with two wires to identify. If you can describe the location of the harness stub [where this branch originates, or where it emerges into the engine bay, and where it travels from there], then someone with an early car might be able to help. All my doc is 84 and later.
Good hunting!

I should have known a little more clarification would be needed. The car has a 77 2.7 engine with cis. The wiring harness originates from behind the fan where the large wiring harness does. I had to split it open to see what color the original wires were. Could this be to the blower motor?

I'll keep hunting, Chris

Hello

A fast guess is the fresh air blower.

Black / Yellow ( switched ignition ) and brown ( ground )
