I have 2 wire connectors with wires cut on both sided on top near the hinges under the hood. I though they may be stock but cannot figure out what for. the wires are yellow and black and one connector on each side.

 

heated windshield. stock

 

Someone has replaced your heated windshield with a non-heated type.

I suggest that you unplug the windshield connectors from the main harness connectors (the ones clipped to the panel) - as, those tails have the potential to cause a short-circuit.

 

ah thank you. the only thing that confuses me is they must have bi passed them because it the front defrost still works when i hit the button

 

The defrost is completely different. The defrost blows warm air onto the windshield. The heated windshield your vehicle came with originally had very thin wires embedded in the glass that would heat up when activated. Great for melting ice in the wintertime, but expensive to replace if broken.
