Extra Wires

I'm using a few of the extra wires but I'm having trouble finding the end of one bundle. The first photo shows a bundle of five wires which terminate at the rear under the hydraulic filter. I can't find the ends of the other bundle. Both bundles are located (actually buried) on the left side of the dash. I have a tone generator but I'm not having any luck with that second bundle. Anyone know where they might terminate. Thanks.

Rolled up under left side of dash. There is 2 sets. One goes to the rear, has 2 heavy wires in it, the other ones go up to the overhead.

On our '95 U300, the set that runs to the rear has it's opposite end under the left side of the dash. You probably found both ends with the tone generator. It's all small wires on ours. The other set is on the right side of our coach and goes from the small flip up access right below the passenger's window to the compartment directly above it with the air horn supply line.. It's the one with the large and small wires. Your's could be on the opposite side of the coach. No idea what it might be used for.

Ahhhh... thanks. So they go to the overhead. On our two Grand Villas, like Pierce's, we had extras in the area over the passenger seat. Does anyone know where these terminate on the bus. I've been in there several times but didn't see the extras. Thanks.

Mine was just past the right side behind the TV. They just all laid flat with the other wires.

They only run  down about four or five feet to the small flip up with the same vinyl covering as the dash. Right below the passenger's window on our U300. Long enough to reach just inside the dash. Your guess as to what they are for.

Meant to say Grand Villa in the above post (changed it). Thanks, Chris. Ours are the same year so that's where they likely are.
