Guys im trying to sort out the front loom which attaches the ABS, front lights, thermo fans and then go to the fuse box..

Theres 3 plugs im not sure what they are.. I think two of them which just plug into an end cap may have something to do with the ABS sensors?? And there is a black one which im unsure goes where??

These two ABS??

The top one looks like its for a light, possibly a fog light, which STI's don't have, but the harness and connector are still there.
The others look to be terminated, so they don't go anywhere.

yeah agree with john, where's your labels? tut tut tut

abs sensors have shielded wiring

Thanks mate. The others have to be a sensor of some sort as they came like this from factory. If they were terminated they would just be an open plug just like the first one i would have thought??

lol i know where they go these ones never had a home so thats why im wanting to know whether i can get rid of them or not...

The grey plug goes from the ABS loom hence i thought it was a sensor of some sort..

A guy on nasoic thinks the black one that has got an end plug is a temperture sensor of some sort and goes near the radiator..

Actually, I think he's right, that may be the ambient air temp sensor. goes in front of the rad. There should be bracket at the bottom of the support beam, at the bottom of the rad, so you need that one. WHen I say terminated, the grey one from the ABS may be a 'through joint connector' where the plug has terminals inside it that join the wires in the connector and complete the harness.
Best bet is not to be cutting any of them.
Only thing I would do is tape the black open one up out the way.
