Default What is this ??? ( LARGE PICS )

I found this plug today just hanging around, it's directly to the left of my passenger side headlight. I looked all over but I have no idea where it should be plugged into.

Anyone know where it should be plugged into or can you please take a look under your hood to see where yours is plugged in?
It's a 1992 LT1

Its the connection for your underhood light. There is also one on the driver's side.

It's for the outside air temperature sensor.

I think it's for my outside temp sensor too, and since I never had auto temperature control I guess it shouldn't be plugged in anywhere. So I guess I found what it's for, but why would they leave that plug open from the factory like that if my car was never equipped with the Auto Temp Control?

The wiring harness were made the same for vettes, even though yours didn't have this option. You could just wrap it in electrical tape if you want it covered. Is kind of like my truck, they made the wiring harness to also fit a diesel engine and I have connectors lose all over.

On my 92 it connects to the outside air temp sensor that is situated inside the radiator air intake just in front of the AC condensor.
