I've got a broken/missing connector on the loom that has the passenger side fog light and horn. Anyone that can tell me what it is? Here are some pictures

The wire in question looks to be green/yellow and is actually two wires.

Outside temp sensor wire? What temp does your car say it is outside?

That's what I was thinking, but when I looked at a wiring diagram, there is no temp sensor shown connected there. Is there a temp sensor on both sides of the car? On my driver's side, there is something that looks like a temperature probe.

EDIT: looked up the temp sensor, and I definitely have a temp sensor on the driver's side of my vehicle. Are there two temp sensors? If not, then what the hell is this wire?! lol

EDIT: found a thread where someone says "Right side has the heated spray nozzle sensor, and left is AAT sensor." I'll check realoem to confirm

Anyone know if these temp probes are the same part number? On real oem I only see one temp sensor, so I'm assuming both sides have the same exact sensor.

Sorry I was not paying attention and thought you meant driver's side. The external temp sensor is only on the left (driver's) side. I think I might have seen a similar wire on my right (passenger's) side but don't know what it's for, unless it's for an optional 2nd horn or as you mention something related to the headlight washing system (which I don't have).

Thanks for the help. I replaced the sensor and it should fix the problem. Now I'm having an issue getting the car to start... New thread lol
