This harness comes through the firewall into the engine compartment just behind the passenger side strut tower. The connector was buried down behind the low pressure A/C line, near the back side of the PS pulley. I managed to dig it out of there. The harness appears to have 4 conductors, arranged in two pairs, each with a foil and wire shield. There is a separate black wire, I assume is a ground wire. As you can see in the photo, the ground wire is broken, insulation worn through on one conductor, and evidence of heat damage on the other conductors. I suspect this harness/connector was mis-located by the factory or at a repair shop at some point, and something abraded it over time. I plan to relocate it up higher. Fortunately, there is enough wire to work with. Does anybody know what the wiring in this connector is for?

Correct me if im wrong but I think these are DIS or Coilpack wires , I noticed that when I re-did my harness they are the only ones shielded.
