The two wires are for a sensor in the cap, the monitors the brake fluid level, i bet with the wires disconnected the brake light on the dash will be on (!) . . .

I would replace it and are the wires disconnected on the cap side or main harness side ?I am not certain were they go from the cap but I sure some one can look it up

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Found this pic of how it connects, maybe your wires fell down behind the strut tower area.

No brake light now, Thinking about just getting a Chrome cover to keep moisture out, since it seems like it doesn't effect the braking on the car.

Re: Melted Brake Master Cylinder cap!?!?!

Found the connectors, they was down beside the inner fender. But since I have no problems with the brakes, lights ect. I decided to save $30 and just filled the whole that was in the cap with some 60 Second epoxy nice water proof fix.
