What fell off my car?

[BrooklynMW]

Heard a funny noise, like something dragging against the road, then nothing. Pulled over to see what was going on. Saw these 2 wire connections hanging below the lip by the front driver side wheel.

Anybody care to enlighten me? (see attached photo)

looks like OBC temp sensor.

[BrooklynMW]

That crossed my mind, but temp still works.

[nando]

does your horn work? I think it uses a similar connector.

[BrooklynMW]

yup. As far as I can tell, everything works. It's possible this is a leftover, perhaps froma rewire job, prior to my ownership. But still curious.

[Kvasi]

"all" connectors in that area look like that, those on lamps just have a plastic cover that tends to fall apart.

I'm gonna say horn, but that's because my '87 has a dual horn setup. Looks like you're gonna have to get under there and do some checking.

[kamotors]

probably horn; should be 2 horns ,maybe one fell out.

[Kershaw]

radiator temp sensor?

[BrooklynMW]

Horn is still up. Radiator temp sensor is a possibility. I will investigate further.

Those wires go to to the OBC alarm horn. Your car should have three horns. It mounts on a threaded stud about 6 inches in front of the left side honking horn on the bottom of the frame rail.

[BrooklynMW]

Thanks. That's the most descriptive and confident answer yet.

I too believe it is the correct answer.

Common fail for the OBC horn bracket breaking in half.
Part # 61 33 1 380 019.

Sounds like you'll need the horn as well. I've got a spare horn in my parts bin. Don't think I have a spare bracket.

Is your splash guard missing? It works well to catch bits like this that tend to fall off.

fog lamp wiring? mine look like those plugs and i sometimes find them hanging out in various places.
