Unknown wire issue

Hey all,
I hate to do this, but I've tried searching (owners manual, onlinemazda, etc) for one of the electrical wires near the driver side oil cooler, without any luck. It is in the same cluster (from what I can tell from the pics) as the oem driver side fog light. I can't quite locate the specific wire, especially because I'm away at the moment, far from my car...
Anyone know what the wires in the pictures lead to, and know what it powers?

Thanks!

Ambient temp sensor! That's it, thanks Paimon!
That's what I thought, but I'm not around my car to verify. Also, I used this as my guide. Either it wasn't labeled, or I just skimmed past it.

FYI, working from the bottom up, the others are:

Fog Light
Ambient Temp Sensor
ABS Sensor
Front auto leveling sensor
Horn (left)
