Default What are these cables in the engine bay for?

Hi all,

I have these 2 loose cables in my engine bay, on the drivers side, right in front of the windscreen, that is not connected to anything and I do not know what are for.

You can see the 2 connectors in the middle of the picture. One on a thicker black cable. And one on a thin blue cable.

Anybody got any ideas?

Regards,
Oyvind

look like the ones that go to the hood for the heated squirters.

Thanks for the explanation!

So does this mean the 944 have some heated squirters in addition to the normal "non-heated" squirters?

I guess it makes sense that the hose carries some fluid...

And both cables go to this squirter?

Regards,
Øyvind

hard to tell from the pic- not sure if early cars had that but most have a couple wires going up the ds hood hinge to the squirters for this.

My early 944 has heated windshield washer jets.
