Those are the connectors hanging down. A couple of other things about the wiring on this car are bothering me. The diagram shows a light green 1.0mm wire running from the steering column to fuse #7 on the fuse block. It then comes out of there and runs right back into the steering column. It is labeled as "P" where it goes in and comes out. It is the only thing on that fuse. This wire does not exist on my car. There is a connector on back of the ignition switch labeled as "P", but nothing is hooked up to it. What is this wire supposed to be for? The connectors for the side markers are also missing from the steering column wiring block. I'm assuming that someone switched this steering column section out at some point. Should I try to get an original to replace it with to get d佬ctionality back? The side markers are not important to me right now, but I have to wonder if I'm missing something with the "P" wires????
