There's wires, 3 of them coming from the firewall right under the brake fluid resevoir. Now it's not connected to anything so I'm confused. It's black, light purple, and red. The black wire is is shorter than the other 3 and has a circle clamp at the end. Then the other 2 wires extend longer. At the end of the purple one it has a white plastic thing on it and then a black plastic outlet to put a (yellow)20A fuse into then a circle clamp on it.. The red has a plastic thing at the end too but it's cut off after that. So I was wondering what this is and what does it connect to?

Question 2:
There's another plug that isn't connected to anything. It's next to the power steering. One of the 2 plugs is actually connected to the thing the coolant line goes to. I'm sorry if it's unclear of what I'm saying. I'm browsing through the engine bay section on the local gallery to find a better pic to make it more of a visual.
 
sounds like something aftermarket not stock by the way it has those connectors. Possibly an alarm that was removed?
 
Most likely its aftermarket just follow the wires into the car and it will answer your questions. Most likely they are not connected to anything the previous owner probably pulled the stuff out and left the wiring.
