Righty then, I just took the under-dash cowling off this morning to replace my ECU and noticed this gem tucked away. The connector I need help identifying is the white and black one in the centre of the shot hanging down.
As you may or may not be able to see, there are 3 cables in the white side. There WERE 2 cables in the black side but they have been cut off.

Does anybody know what these connectors were for and where the cut wires should go to?

Much appriciated if sum1 could shed some light for me. :P

The white one is for The AC system when you turn the AC on the ECU raises the revs a little to compensate. Im not 100% sure on the black one.

Cheers buddy. I did have my thoughts that it may have been secured in the same place as ECU due to the size of the hole in it, but wasnt sure, so i thought best to ask.

Isn't the black one used with auto gearboxes? No idea what for, since the only thing I've ever done with autos, is to remove them and replace with manual.
