Default Radiator/Fan Wiring

I am a new owner in the Backdraft Cobra family, and noticed that on the lower passenger side of my radiator there are two wires (the ones on the left) that have no corresponding connection, and they don't seem to fit in each other. Is this normal for some auxiliary equipment, or is something wrong?

Please see pic attached. Thank you.

Bill

If you look around you will fine many more like this. I have. Found the best thing is to ignore them.

The yellow tag should have printing on it for what it goes to.

One more thing, I also have a slow leak from the radiator drain plug. Will I have to drain all the antifreeze, or can I do a quick remove insert of a new plug? Is this a common issue?

Thansk again everyone

Is the plug just loose? If not it may be the o ring if you have to remove the plug you will need to drain and fill.

The extra plugs are probably for a 2nd fan. Earlier cars came with 2 smaller fans, later changed to 1 big fan.

Hard to see on my screen. But the yellow wrap will say what it is, probably looking at wires for windshield washer pump.

When I first got my car it had a slow radiator leak from the brass screw plug on the top right side (passenger side) of the plastic radiator. It was hard to figure out where it was coming from but it was not very tight. After tightening with a large crescent wrench the leak stopped.
