I need help with some wires. The brown and white one has an eyelet and I'm not sure where to hook it up. The black and white with a connector, I can't find the other end anywhere. It's a 99 fountain 27 502 stock. Thanks!

Where are the coming from?
The brown/white is most likely your trim sender lead, but the ring connecter makes me wonder how it connects.

The only yellow I see is for the coolant temp sender, and it's on a connecter with what appears to be black.
Anything not working?
Thanks. Brad.

JLyynPleak,
Look for some wires coming from the transom plate. The trim position sender should be a two wire (it's just a variable resistor). It is usually just a couple of bullet connectors. Not sure what is going on with your ring connector.

Just put my '95 502 back in - brown & white was for oil temp sensor on the port side of the block right near the oil filter pad. The other end of the brown & white runs up to the oil temp gauge.
