02 Impala unlugged wire hanging

Asked by Rodney Feb 17, 2017 at 03:37 PM about the 2002 Chevrolet Impala FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 02 Chevy impala and I've noticed that there is a
plug not connected and hanging under the front of the car
on the passenger side. The plug is located right under the
front front bumper and looks to to be connected to the
wires leading to the cooling fans behind the radiator. I've
looked to find where it plugs into but no luck. Anybody
know what this plug is?

Do the windshield washers work? The windshield washer reservoir is on the passenger side under the battery. Can you just move it around its length to see if you see any open connectors? Do all the head lights work?

I checked it and the sensor is already plugged in. I attached a photo from the top end to see if anyone recognizes it from another angle. It's connected to the same harness as the connector for the airbag sensor. I've checked all around but have no clue where it could go

I just painted my 02 Impala about a week ago and found the same plug just hanging. Yesterday I lifted the car and I found where it plugs. I don't know what its called but let me try to upload some pics.

That plug actually goes to a probe that mounts to the cardboard shield on the lower part and side of radiator . I believe is the ambient air sensor
