Force 120hp wireing

[cjr605]

I have a 94 Force 120hp. I noticed when I took the cover off that there was 2 wires not connected to anything. My engine runs good but not sure about the 2 wires. 1 is brown and the other is a tan color. Should they be plugged into each other???

Where do the wires come from?<br />What are they attached to?

Tan usually for a temp sensor or to the overheat buzzer. Its really hard to say for sure, as there seems to be several versions off wiring harnesses.

If the wiring follows the marine color code the tan is the temp (solid tan no color stripe) - it runs from the temp sender to the temp gauge.<br /><br />If the other wire is a solid brown that is usually reserved for the alternator charge light, genrator armature and fuses/switches to pumps. Brown with a yellow stripe is for bilge blowers. Brown with a white stripe is trim sender.<br /><br />Check your temp gauage, bilge pump, blowers, tirm gauage, etc. Make sure everything is working.
