I don't know what these wires are. I have replaced every wire,
one-for-one, with the old harness, and verified it with the wiring diagram.
Then I have these two brown wires left over.
The green one under the hood is, no doubt, for the heater blower, which I
currently have out of the car (along with just about everything else).
Thanks.
