Default I need help identifying a mystery wire

Hello,

I have a 1st Gen Dodge Durango 5.9l 4x4, year 2000, and I've been replacing the timing chain, water pump, etc and on re-installation I noticed I have a rogue wire that I don't remember removing and I don't have any pictures of the wire plugged in to anything. By any chance does anyone know where this wire goes to? Re-installation is halted until I ID this wire.

The mystery wire is the one with the yellow connectors. The other plugs are for the washer fluid pumps, etc on the upper radiator shroud and are just to show that the mystery wire is connected to the same loom.

The picture of the threaded hole is the rear right of my radiator and I'm also wondering if someone knows what goes there. I'm thinking it's a sensor and that wire plugs in to it, because the wire reaches it perfectly.

Thank you in advance!

Foglights? I'm guessing. You'd have to a have a matching one on the other side though.

By the looks of the inside of the plug(dirt) it was not used. Probably went to an option yours don't have.

If I am not mistaken that is for the Ambient Air Tempurature Sensor. Used to provide the overhead Console with outside air temperature.
