I believe those are the speed sensor wires. Be very careful with those..if they are damaged you will get ESP light on and have to pay the dealer $400+ to fix it.

ill just solder them and save $400 esp light comes on sometimes but i am able to turn it off sometimes... if im not i have to turn the car off then on again :)

Yea it will also flash on and off. Those wires sends signals to the ecu which in turn sends the signal to the transmisson. Sometimes it is hard to accelerate when the ESP light comes on beacuse the car is stuttering. Its braking and accelerating at the same time so it starts to jerk. Be careful man i just had these replaced and they are not by any means cheap.

oh for sure... i have experienced that at times...

i know a dealer doesnt do shady jobs so they prolly change out the whole wire harness that has to do with that... but since im prolly goiong to fix it im assuming i can just solder hose wires together and shrink wrap them and be good to go...

anyone know?

thanks btw i thought thats what it had to do with

No problem. Yea the dealer usually just replaces the entire harness.
