Where does it go?

(Okay... don't laugh... even though I know I deserve it)
I have a 2012 2SS RS automatic

I'm putting back my engine after 8 months and can't remember how the dipstick tube goes back in and where this wire goes.
From the top, I can't see the hole in the block for the tube.

If I remember correctly, that wire is for the DOD solenoid - which I don't need anymore since I did a DOD delete about 5 years ago.

The dip stick tube is on Passenger side just above oil pan about middle of block I believe.

Glad you got it. That dipstick can be a massive PITA. The DOD harness I just wire tied to the rear of the head area.
