Help!!! what's the temperature

Here's my problem, I was installing the ambient temperature gauged in my SEC and realized that I didn't know all the correct cable hook ups. When I purchased the ambient gauage I got the corresponding cable for the installation. The four wires, one was actual temperature wire which goes behind the license plate of the car, the other cable hooks up directly to the fusebox, and then there are two other loose cables that I'm unsure where they go.

I would greatly appreciately someone's help in determining where both of these wires hooked up to! It would be great if someone can send me the wiring diagram, or link for the installation of this gauge. Or, if someone simply knew where each wire went that would be even better!

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Sometimes the sensor is made for a few different kinds of cars. If the temp gauge is working I wouldn't worry about it. I've also seen where they send another type of connector loose in the bag, which you would retrofit over if your car used that type of connector. Never seen an outside temp that was actually 2 wires to make the temp gauge work, but I've seen these different types of connectors included (usually the larger round connectors are used in making the sensor and they give you these 2 teenie tiny connectors also loose in the bag)

PS in case no one has told you, DON'T shorten the cable, put the excess under the fuse box panel, has to remain at that length to be accurate.
