Default loose wire

I replaced my harmonic balancer on my '98. I have it all back together except for one wire that I don't know where it goes. It's on the drivers side in front of the eng.It looks like comes from the fan wireing harness and it has a blue connector on it. I can not find where it plugs in. Thanks in advance.

Ok. First you said "wire".......now it's "wires". They can't both be grey, so if I had to guess, based on so little information , I'd say the wires were white and grey, .....and they connect to the magnasteer on the rack.

well lucky, I had a drop light underthere but it was still hard to see the wires, they are in a single housing and they were light colored, maybe white & grey. I had the steering rack out of the car so that might be where it pligs into. Thanks so much for your help man.
