Default Wiring help

Long story short, a bunch of wiring got severed while wheeling. There are two plugs by the main fuse panel under the hood, one orange, one grey. My issue is the grey plug, it has two sheathed wires(plus others) going to it, inside each are two plain white wires, my dilemma is.... they are cut and i don't know which goes to which. Anyone know what they are? Does it matter which way they get connected back(assuming it does). My computer containing the manual has crashed and i only have an ipad that won't handle the info. Image attached.( i think! Lol)
Any help is appreciated.

It is hard to tell from the pic. Can you insert some arrows in the pics to point to the wires in question?

I wish i could but using an ipad, you can see the two wires in a y near the top right of the picture right near the plastic shroud. I will try to take a better pic of where the go into the plug as well.

Are they both white and coming out of a Y? Or am I not looking at the right thing?


I have no idea what these are but I'm wondering if these are part of the same circuit. Trace them back a bit and see if the two wires are actually the same or different circuits. They way they look they might be a Y pigtail...normally you won't see things that can short out encased together like that. If that's the case it won't matter....IF is a HUGE if in this case. Don't just assume I'm correct by a theory based on a photo that's hard to see, it's something to look into.

Or there's always the Rave manual.

The White wires are your ABS wiring to the rear wheel sensors.

The wires to each wheel sensor are a twisted pair, which are over-sleeved.

Here are the connector faces for the Grey 14 way connectors.

It's important that you connect the correct wires together.

To make sure that you have the correct wires, you will need to use a circuit tester to determine which wires come from which wheel sensor.
