VA orange and blue connector harness..need ID please

I noticed some connectors in the engine bay that are not connected, I was curious to see if anyone knew what these connect to. I've looked through the wiring manual, but its hard to identify from the mazda diagram + these don't look like the traditional connectors on the harness.

These are located on the passenger side of the engine bay under the wiper motor. There are 2 blues ones and 2 orange ones, it could be 1 additional set since the previous owner had Mazda redo the engine and the harness. I've posted some pics below...

any idea where the connector plugs into, I don't see the male side anywhere. Also, should there be 2 sets of orange and blue or just be 1 set?

There should be an impact sensor at the front of the car (small black box behind front bumper). The leads from this sensor plug into your connector near the ABS/fire wall. All of the air bag sensors have one blue and one orange connector on each end.

On a Miata, the blue plugs are wiring for the air bag system to the sensors, as mentioned above, but the orange plug is for the horn.

[Edit: Just checked my '94 manual; same for the FD. See page Z-66 (Section F-4) for the wiring.]
