ok the last few days every time i go over a bump or take a corner i hear a thud coming from the front of my car, almost like the stabilizer has come off or the wheel is rubbing on the body kit or something,
so i looked under my car to check it out and found these 2 lose wires! they dont go together (female and female) and there are none near it so im not sure what they are! i dont have fog lights or anything![]()
so i still have the problem of the noise that sounds like my body kit is being ripped off and now these unknown wires, i dont get any error codes when i start my car and ive had a good look and cant find anything they connect to,
could anyone please help me work out where they wires came from and also what could be causing the noise when i go over speed hump or small bumps in road (no my body kit isnt scrapping on the ground its not that low lol)
any help much appreciated, thanks guys

They are for the second horn, simply get hold of another horn, plug it in and make up a bracket to suit and you'll have two horns.
'Ah well, I suppose it had to come to this.'
If theyre bothering you that much cut them off at the source and terminate them safely with electrical tape.

really why would they make the wires just hang down like that? thats good to know that my car isnt going to shut down lol,
also with the sway bar i checked to see if they bushing are there and they look ok to me, a bit squished but still in tact on both sides, what else could it be?
cheers
I'd be looking at where you are dumping oil/fluid as well while you are under there.
Cheers,

I think your talking about the wet part on the second photo? It's actually just wet cause I washed my car then drove it on the wet road.... I hope.
It did have leaking radiator fluid when I got it but I think they just over filled it.
What do you think it is? You've got be worried now haha.
haha cool as thanks for asking this question, i was wanting to know the same thing, .. i thought they were for driving lights, but didnt do anything, so i was stuffed to know what their for.. but anyways their horn wires hah thanks for clearing that up!!
I'm not sure on what the wires are but I can see from the pics that you need new castor rod bushes as well as engine mounts. Your left engine mount is sagging and if you look at the rear of the sump it may actually be hitting the crossmember.

I would be having a professional checking out all the suspension components and bushes.
Yes that engine sump does seem to be sitting a bit too low and lopsided from the photo.
:| yeah thanks for the help, im not sure how you can tell but ill take your word for it, ive gotta take it for a service soon so hopefully they'll check it all out, first service since i bought it so hopefully not too expensive :| **** now youve got me worried, haha. gonna book it into holden asap
found out what the noise is under my car, thought it wasnt the sway bars as bushings were in tact but the actual bars were bent and bushing a tad squished.
so after replacing that, machining the disc rotors, flushing out brake fluid, putting 2 screws in side bumper, i was up for $822.70!!!! thats after i told them not to replace all hoses in engine bay(530$) and castor rod bushes (270$), what a ****ing shit day!
ah well cars will be cars.
Here's a tip for you. Find a more economical mechanic. My local charges $130 for nolathane upgraded sway bar link/ bush kit installed, $240/ pair for Whiteline poly castor rod bushes installed, $380 for machining of all four rotors and replacement with Bendix db1331/ db 1332 pads inc parts n labour.
I'd like to see a copy of the bill (personal details edited of course) just to see where $800 went lol

Yeah I know what you mean. The reason it's so expensive is cause it's a Holden dealer and the parts are genuine so they cost more! Hope it's worth it in the end.
