Anyone with a 1996 have the schematics to help?

It possible those are engine or transmission wires so those numbers wouldn't be in the FT schematic.  Photo might help.  Sometimes the people need to see it to recognize it.

In my Foretravel Owners Manual (1996 U320) are wire lists and wiring diagrams.
The wire lists are on three pages and include the main wire list (more than a page), Aquahot, battery, coolant Sensor, Tail Light, Coach, and Engine harnesses for the 8.3, M11, 3176 and 3126. I have always been able to find a wire number on these lists and the diagrams until NOW.

The wiring harness with #124 (red), #135 (green), #156 (blue) which terminate with a weather proof plug, as well as 203 (green) which is just cut off are not included on any of my lists or diagrams, however, I found them tie wrapped to the frame in front of the transmission. These wires are long enough to reach the rear of the engine, but connect to nothing, so they could be extra wires.
I plan to search for the other end of these wires, perhaps under the dash.

Gabby, the tie wrap holding your harness must have broken, so just replace it, and if you find the other end of these wires, post it here.

Wyatt; You have confirmed my conviction, after a close inspection of the
wire end connection, and especially the
rubber seal that would keep out moisture
and dirt, it is all to dirty to have been
connected to a female fitting. My next step will be to recoil, strap it and get on to the next project, Thank You.  Gibby
