Wheel well wiring

[DDKing13]

So I had just pulled off for work, when I noticed a weird knocking sound coming from the drivers side front wheel. I look underneath and find that the wiring for the speed sensor and the other wire that's down there, are hanging down freely.

Somehow, they were dangling freely in the wheel well, not clipped to the strut housing. They don't look that bad, but there is some fraying here and there, and the rubber shrink wrap is cracking off in some places.

2 questions:
What is the other wire called? (the wire not connected to the speed sensor)
Where can I get new wires for each? Anybody know the PN's?

Here are the cables in question:

Brake pad wear sensor

You have them mounted upside down also.

One is speed sensor for abs, the other is brake pad wear sensor.

while we're on the subject. My 84 318 car has these ones in the driverside wheel well.

3 wires total, one appears to be a ground and the other two are for a connector, but I have nothing loose in the area

FYI:
- my car never had ABS, so I know its not the speed sensor.
- my car also had no OBC, so its not the temp sensor either.

anyone?

ahh that makes sense! I think its the only other thing that it couldve been...

I think I'll delete it
