Mystery Wires in the Frunk

Hello all super sleuths,

89 3.2L Targa.

I saw these mystery wires in the frunk today. I looked in vain for the other side of this connector. The wires (2) appear to be yellow and brown in color. The wires are coming from a bundle near the gas cap filler tube. I cannot trace their source though. I do not notice any performance issue by this being disconnected.

Anyone know what this is? Thanks.

I'm told that Porsche had one standard wiring harness for all cars in this era, and these loose plugs are for accessories yours didn't have. Mine has a few of them visible.

It goes to the intensive windshield washer pump. Using the correct year wiring diagram the power wire is YE/WT (yellow with white strip) and BR (brown).

Discussed here as well. Another mystery connector...
