Two red connectors. It looks like one of them is disconnected?


Any idea what these two connectors are? I think one is for the electric motor mount (Schick one?) and one seems to be disconnected?

AT motor mounts, you can (should) disconnect them both

edit: on second thought one of them might be more towards the front of the car, i'm not remembering clearly, is that just the rear mount disconnected?

The green one is for the ECTS (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor). To the left of that, blocked from the camera's view by the dipstick, is the coolant temperature sending unit for the temperature gauge in the dash instrument cluster.

The brown one down and to the right of the green one is for the electric motor mount on the right bank of the engine (the firewall side). The brown connector below that is for the auto trans.

Neither one of them look disconnected to me.

The other electric motor mount connector is not in your photo. Going left fron the green connector, it is around the corner of the valve cover, by the O2 sensor connectors.

Thanks! I noticed a grinding/servo motor noise when switching the ignition off so I was trying to figure out which connector was for the electric motor mount (the one on the front is easy to identify).
