Anybody know what this is? I was underneath installing a skip shift just now (thanks Trclee) and saw it just hanging there.

I can grab a picture later

Sounds like it could be for the DRL.

Look for a plug on the bumper and/or go turn on your car and see if you DRLs come on.

Yup drl's dont work. Any idea where it goes?

Reach up above the DRL, it's there.

Just fixed mine when I saw this. My dealer installed my Heritage grille before I picked up the car and I suspect they left it undone when they put the bumper back on. I hadn't taken it in yet because I dread the thought of handing my keys back to them. Saw your post and it confirmed my assumptions, but I didn't think it'd be so easy to get to.

Don't worry it's just your front crash sensor that controls the deployment of your airbags in the event of a head-on collision.

I'm joking, but I don't know what else it might be if your DRL's are plugged up fine.
