Also last questions "FOR NOW" is what are these wires / connectors for?
Item #1: One is a purple / yellow wire and a black wire. They are cut.
Item #2: Second is this weird connector with 2 nipples coming out each end.
Ok Item #1: Mine is attached to the car still and the purple wire is going to my master cylinder. So check out that location and connection to see if yours is cut or even exists.
Item #2: Sorry, I can't find it on my car. Maybe someone else may have to look at that. Remember I have a 95 and yours is a 96
