I found some disconnected wire in the frunk of our 1972 914. The wires seem to have been hacked also and I don't know where the where/should be connected to. They are in the fruck near the brake oil reservoir.

Anyone that could point me to where those should go to?

Hold on a second.

@PaIsa , can you explore this branch wiring a little bit further? Find out where the wiring goes and what it connects to? Is it part of the main chassis harness or a separate shorter harness?"

I ask because I have a couple of simple, short NOS harnesses, somehow related to the brakes, and your wires may be what they are.

The two wire version is for 1970-73 914s. "wiring harness for emergency light switch brake 2-pole."

The one wire version is for 1974-76 914s. "additional cables for emergency light switch single pole."

I have yet to understand where these are installed (although they appear to connect to the master cylinder) or what they do....could they be for an optional brake fluid level sensor as previously mentioned?

I own both versions and can supply better photos/circuitry diagram if needed let me know. See photos of the two harnesses to see if they are like your wiring.
