Where do these wires go??

Hey guys! Amazing site for sure. Glad to be here.

So I recently acquired this e53 and it seems that the right rear tire blew while driving and ripped the fender liner and all the wires off. Please refer to pictures and help me figure out where the wires go.

I was able to locate the blue and white wire to the vehicle speed sensor. The black wire and yellow/red stripe wire are for the brake pad wear sensor. I just can't figure out where the other three yellow wires go.

Height sensor attached to the aluminum swing arm?

At this point, I don't see any wires going anywhere from that harness coming from the firewall so I'm sure that's it. Thanks!!

You don't have Selflevelling Suspension option in your X,so I just guessed if those were pre wired and never used. In my X I have a few options pre wired for and not present.

I'd agree; Bentley manual shows right rear air suspension has the following wires from the control unit to the sensor:

GE/GR (Yellow w/ grey tracer)
GE/BR (Yellow w/ brown tracer)
GE/SW (Yellow w/ black tracer)
