    I blew my rear driver side tire out last night on the highway and found 2 rubber lines with plastic ends on them disconnected and two wires cut. No fluids or any smells from either line. And im assuming the electrical wires have somthing to do with abs/tcs since when I put the spare on and drove (which btw lasted ~50 feet before coming off the rim) the abs and tcs light came on. In the 50 or so feet I was able to drive with the spare the car didnt feel any different and the brakes worked fine. I had it towed home and put a new full size back on but I havent driven yet until I figure out what these loose connectors do.

    Ok so it looks like evap lines. Where can I find the canister to confirm this and will it effect driving if left unplugged for a day or 2? Same goes for abs sensor or wheel speed sensor.

    It won't hurt anything leaving them unhooked.
