Default 09 rx350 did hg, one plug not found

I had to drop the cradle and do headgaskets. everything went relatively fine. got pretty much everything back in place but by the a/c compressor there's an open 2 pin socket. the bracket in the picture bolts to a little 10mm bolt on the side of the a/c compressor but I cannot find anything to plug this 2 pin wire into.

I really don't want to start it up with it unplugged but if I can't find it next time I work on it I might have to

edit, pulled the efans back out, shined a light and saw a small plug on the side of the compressor, has a c-clip holding it in

Just Guessing, is it to something to do with the AC?
Maybe the AC compressor clutch or AC pressure?
Good Luck, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

3 possibilities, my guess is crank position sensor (hidden behind A/C?), and better plug it in before starting...

1) a/c compressor, no harm if left unplugged
2) alternator, again, won't run long but won't hurt anything
3) IIRC there is a crank position sensor or oil pressure sensor in the area lower down


Look at 2:30 mark in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0iVEHojWNI>
