VERY VERY urgent -- what is this connector?

Hello,

after installing my RB screens, and taking out my VFAD and performing all other maintence on my car, im getting ready to put my front bumper back on and i suddently see THIS connector dangling from the front.





in removing the VFAD -- i never remember unhooking (whatever that is) and I'd like to get my front bumper back on tonight so im hoping a few of yall are trolling at this hour

As you can see from the pic its right in front of the circular hole for the air intake. and if i just let it hang, it hangs almost down enough to touch the bottom plastic tray.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Jeff

Going by memory I would say it's for the VAFD.

But I don't remember the connector being that high.

*whew* thank you guys - i was thinking other things like, maybe its something to do with the airbag deployment system being at the front of the car or something (hey im a n00b but im learning)

Once again, thanks :-D and i feel a sense of accomplishment taking off my whole bumper and ripping into the car, im filthy dirty but it was fun! :-D more pics of some of the other things I did later 2nite or tommroow.

if you need a photo of where it goes let me know i can try to shoot one for you..... it kinda attaches to the crossmember where the styrafoam is on the drivers side. between the the center of car and the fog light...

sorry that is not more clear. but the best i can do right now.

that tip part with the numbers is the clip portion of the temp sensor to connect to the bottom of the crossmember. can't tell if its broken or not from the pic, but just see if you can stick it back on. mine didn't fit because of my aftermarket bumper, so i just tape it off behind.
