Hi All,
I'm still in the process of "debugging" my recently acquired 86 Spider "Veloce".
1/ Not really a problem but I like to solve things... I have noticed that none of the driver/passenger footwell lights are working. I see small disconnected plugs which I'm struggling to reconnect, by the way... I know that the PO owner had to change the battery a couple of times (the car sat for long periods in his garage so not suprising if he didn't keep it charged...). Would anyone recommend against plugging them back in? (if I ever find where to plug these black thingie without hurting my back...)

2/ I have also noticed a cut "ground" small cable here, under the glovebox :

Any idea why someone would do that?
(yes, I did tighten the unidentified (?) loose connector you can see above)
3/ I am planning to give the battery a couple charges with my Ctek charger this Winter. I understand it is not a good idea to just plug the charger to the (-) terminal of the battery. Correct? I'm a bit struggling to find a ground strap, not too far from the (+) terminal...
4/ last, yet another unplugged, unintified connector, sitting below the wheel... any hint?

To note, a PO has replaced the electric mirrors with less practical but more beautiful S2 chrome mirrors. Could it be linked?
Many thanks in advance for any hint you might share with me!
