[DML] mystery connectors in engine compartment

[Peter Lucas <lucas@xxxx>]

In the forward part of my engine compartment (just below the cheesy 
latch that keeps the engine cover up), there are two mating 
2-conductor electrical connectors with red and black wires that 
emerge from the wiring harness. Although they fit together nicely, 
they were not plugged together when I acquired the car. Indeed, 
someone carefully tie-wrapped them to the harness so that they could 
not accidentally get connected. What are they? Should they be 
connected? Nothing seems to be malfunctioning. Plugging them together 
does nothing obvious.
