Awww you guys know how to make a fella blush



Got the passenger fender/battery/airbox/coolant tank put in tonight. Bled the brakes, filled and bled power steering system. It's sitting on 4 wheels now, and can move under it's own power My eyes are burning from running the truck in the garage with open down pipe, lol.

Couple things I'm hoping one of you guys can help me out with.

First, I have this connector on the underhood fuse box that I can't find a mate for. It's the only one that doesn't have something that connects to it. Anyone know if this is supposed to be this way, or did I lose a connector somewhere in the rat's nest of wiring?

Next, I have this sensor that needs a home. It looks like a temperature probe, but it's not the external temp probe that mounts next to the trans cooler, I already have that one in place. The pigtail feeds into the same harness that the passenger side horn and lights are on. Anyone know where it goes?

Don't know about the connector but that sensor is the airbag sensor. You need to mount it on the lower core support. Should be a hole somewhere in there for it already.

Already have both of those mounted and plugged in, so it has to be something else...

Here's the response I got over on dieselplace

I'm curious what these sensors do now...it's not the compass temp sensor, what else would it be?

Here's a couple better pics:
