Mystery modules on 968 Engine Harness
All the connections are made and, wouldn't you know it, two extra connections. I can only assume that one of them is the VarioCam solenoid but what is the other one for and, for that matter, which is which? See photos attached...

Are you installing a 968 harness on a S2?
The black connector is for the VC.
I am not sure, but I think the brown goes to the front knock sensor.
If you don't have a reply in the morning I'll go out and look at mine and verify.

Re: mystery connectors...
Yes, I'm installing a 968 DME and harness on a 944S2 to utilize the MAF.
Yes, after more research (google images), I did learn that the black one goes to the VC solenoid.
However, the brown one can't be the front knock sensor since both knock sensor connections are on the wire harness branch that goes to the temp sensors and Throttle Body and MAF.
So... the brown connector is still a mystery.

Apparently, the brown connector goes to part 964 624 110 00, the oil temp sensor on the 968 head, which is directly related to the VC activation, and, as such, is not found on the 944S2 head.
Hmmm... I wonder if leaving those two connectors un-connected would be a problem for a 944S2.

Done... Now let's see if it works!
Well... I've been building a MAF conversion by hybridizing 968 parts into a '91 944S2... All I have to do now is finish installing the DME and connect the oil pressure sender and oil level sender... see attached:
