Total newbie here but having looked at a ton of wiring behind the dash recently, both wires look solid yellow. Looks like something aftermarket possibly. Does the wire die into the original wiring harness?

Not sure but you're asking the right group here. You'll get your answer. Looks like a bale of hay stuck in that grill!

On my S4 I had a temp sensor located at that front corner of the radiator. Take a look under the debris and see if you have an electrical sensor there.

Is your Temp Sensor hooked up? It's that Round thing in the right of your picture?

There "has" to be an end to that wire. If it's not connected to anything, then pull it out and move on.

Not many yel wires that come and go from sendors/devices on the 928. The right headlight has a yel and a wht to it and brn for ground. Most sendors are two color.

What does not work up front??

It does appear (or is close lookalike) to be a rubber Porsche wire sleeve which the wires terminate in...what type of termination are they?? flat spade male or female or bullet connector m/f??
