Default Unknown Plug

I'm just about to wrap up an engine rebuild on my 2001 z06. Everything is going very well except I seem to have a stray electrical connector that doesn't seem to have a place to go. It is located at the bottom passenger side of the condenser coil. It is next to, what appears to be, and ambient air temp sensor. I've attached some photos showing the stray plug. Does anyone know what it plugs into?

BTW. I pulled the engine out of the bottom without a two post lift. It is very doable. Just be careful.





Thanks for your help.

I'm almost certain that is for the under hood light.
There should be a small hole in the pass side radiator shroud that the connector's pointed push pin, slides into.

I was looking all over my garage looking for a loose electrical part. My hood is in the basement. Out of sight.... out of mind.

You guys are correct. If I would have just continued the build, it would have shown itself.

Thanks guys.
