Hi guys,
May be nothing but in relplacing the hood release some bundled (unplugged) wires came out from under the driver footwell / left side of steering column. They may be from an aftermarket immobilizer or something related to the fact that my battery charge now seems to be fading... Any thoughts from the expert panel? On these photos?

odd. where do they go?

No idea! Definitely not together I think...

I'll go out on a limb and opine that neither of those are factory connectors. The 2-pin looks like a battery tender (or similar aux power) connector, no idea about the other one. Easiest thing to do is grab a flashlight and see where they go, then remove them with extreme prejudice and repair the sites where they were attached.

Thanks Rob, it's on a '79 but I agree - they look added after production.
That said - my previously strong battery now has some fade. May just be the standing days at the shop over the past weeks / coincidence. Rather than connected to these wires.

The single conductor looks a bit like an antenna lead- maybe a leftover vintage CB radio hookup?

Lol! Or a 70's hookah pipe / vaping system.
