Default Help with wiring!

The wires in the front left fender well got ripped out. I`m having a hard time finding where they go.
pictures below.


I soldered the ripped wire in the black plastic wrap.

here are the lights that are on. I know the ABS but i dont know about the other one.

The other light is your brake light warning. The broken wires may go to the wheel speed sensor for the ABS system. It's only two wires and they are by themselves, so they don't look related to the brake lights. Wires to the brake lights would most likely be in a harness for all the tail lights. Could be a coincidence that a brake light went out at the same time, or it is possible that the computer lights both lights to get your attention. Or there are more broken wires than what I see.

The only thing I expect coming down to the wheel hub area is the abs sensor wire. You should drop the plastic paneling down to see what got ripped up.
