Hello, i recently bought a Smart. See my introduction in newbie section.
When I bought the car it had the motormanagement light on. I took the gamble because it drives and starts perfectly. I dont had any signs of powerloss or motor engine problems. However, when I diagnosed it with by OBD2 it sayd P0243 and P0412 error codes. It has something to do with the Turbo solenoide. Im familair with cars but not with this. See image below with the exact code (it is in Dutch):

So as I said the car drives wonderfully but gives these errors. When i reset the errors the light goes off. I can drive exactly the same as with light on, and it wont light up again. However, when I turn the engine off and restart, the light turns on again and stays on for the time beeing until i reset it again with OBD. No difference in driving with light on or off.
I also found 2 loose connectors in the engine bay. I cant find the contra-connectors where they should be. See pictures.

This car is very fun and everything works well, therefore I didnt expect it to be somethng with the turbo and i took the gamble to buy the car. I hope it is something simple and not the end of a short ownership.
2nd problem:
THe RPM gauge doesnt move a bit. The clock works. The RPM gauge lights up just fine with headlights shifted on. What could this be.
Greetings and thanks
