Default Unplugged harness by driver side foglight?

I tried using the search function but I couldn't find the answer to my question. I just got my car back from the body shop (hail damage) and I had them redo the front bumper and add a clear bra. After driving for a day I noticed an unplugged electrical connector hanging down just below the driver side fog light. However, the fog light works just like normal. I haven't had a chance to get under the car yet but I tucked it up there so it wasn't hanging down. Doesn't anyone know what else plugs in down there? I am planning on getting under the car and removing the plastic covers this weekend to try and figure out where it goes.

Thanks

Take it back and have them fix it. Not sure what it could be, someone else chime in?

When i work on my car i didn't see any extra plugs near fog light area, you should go back and ask the what is that plug for and have them check it out.

Hmm that could be it. My car doesn't have that option. Like I said the lights work perfect and I have no check engine light or anything

I have this as well. Dunno what it's for but everything works fine so I just left it as is. I figured it's just the car being pre-wired for some option I don't have.

It could be headlight washer or parking sensors.

(At least on my 2011) There's a connector there that has a "blank" receptacle on the bumper cover itself that it plugs into. It doesn't actually do anything, it just holds the connector so it doesn't flop around. That connector should plug into that little black plug that's on the bumper cover above the fog light, and hold it out of the way.

I believe it's actually for the sonar sensors (if so equipped).
