Disconnected Wires Near Convertible Top Retract - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello,
I recently purchased my 6th Camaro (2nd SS) used and noticed there is a disconnected wire to the left and to the right near the back of the car where the top goes down. I'm wondering if the security system or something else is unplugged that is useful and I should somehow find the other end to plug in. Does anyone recognize this? I know nothing about cars, only how to drive them.
Thanks a lot,

jeff

Cool, I see where you are now. I didn't have a chance this weekend to peak at mine, but I will in the next day or 2! is that just a single-pin / single contact plug?

Ill have to second that one. Typical, one wire to each side of the grid.
