Default Found disconneted wire behind grill?

2008 JK X...On the drivers side, behind the grill I found a wire that is not connected to anything. It has two purple wires and a male waterproof connector that is between the grill and driver's headlight. It comes out of a bundle of wires just below the headlight bulb. I can't find where it plugs up to. Anybody know?

Do you have factory fog lights? If not, perhaps for that option.

I am sure someone knows.

Bump

Possibly the hanny franny? In all honesty though, if you didn't have fog lights id say it was that, but you say you do, so.... Would it maybe be a hook-up for an electric swaybar disco? Not too up-to-speed on those, so I'm just taking a shot....

The swaybar crossed my mind, but the connectors are on the drivers side. Although it still could be it plugs in there from a length of wire to the swaybar. Have to look at my Rubi.

that could be the temperature plug that plugs into a black bullet style sensor, the sensor is on the driver side in front of the radiator and that what reads the out side temp.

Is your horn on the driver or passenger side of the jeep? If not drivers then I say it's the born wire
