Default Extra wires on DBW harness

I recently bought a DBW harness from another member which is great! I am getting ready to install it and was just going over the wiring diagram. All the wiring diagrams that I can find, show only one loose wire but my harness seems to have three. I checked the locations and colors of all the rest of the right wires and they match up perfectly. I seem to have two extra wires in the B12 and B13 slots of the connector that goes into the computer. Has anyone else run into this? I suppose I could just keep them, but I figured I would check first. Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

This is the wiring diagram I am using: https://documents.holley.com/199r10522.pdf

At first glance a few things come to mind.
  1. There doesn't seem to be a correlation between the Holly attached doc and the issue.
  2. How does the DBW relate to the Holly doc?
  3. What ECM are we talking about?
  4. Have you started the engine?
  5. Pics help...

Thanks for your reply.

1. That document shows the connectors for the harness and which wires/pins go to each. It shows that there is nothing listed for B12 & B13.
2. It is the wiring diagram for the DBW harness for the Holley Terminator Max X ecu that I am using. This is the harness that seems to have 2 extra wires.

4. No. I am still finishing the wiring
5. I will post a pic of the connector with the extra wires shortly

It is kinda weird. I will reach out to the seller to see if they added anything. The loose wire in the bottom is for the brake switch but I have no idea on the other 2.

I spoke to the seller and he did not add anything. He took it outbid the box and never touched it. I am thinking it was for a dominator originally. I will Delong the extra wires and I should be good to go. Thanks!

There isnt a dominator or terminator DBW harness, for GM there is only 558-406 or 558-429. Only terminator has a terminator specific harness for the o2 adapter.
