can you follow it to where the other side goes?
and is your dash lit up?

usually; if you forget to connect a wire; your car will run like shit or something on the dash lights up telling you; something is wrong

my guess would be something to do with your headlights or fogs (from the location of that wire) but i'm unsure.

that goes into the main harness at the other end. there are no lights on dash and there is nothing around where that wire can reach to go to. the only thing that would be there would be the resenator chamber

What year is your TL. Perhaps it's for fogs. Is there another wire hanging on the other side?

Where's the outside temp sensor wire? Can you take a close up of the connector/plug?

OP, what color is that connector (grey or black?) and how many cavities does it have? (I'm assuming the connector is female. Or is it a male connector?)

And this is the driver's side, correct?

you are going to have to follow the wire .. take a picture of what you find and maybe we can help more ... it could be some random aftermarket wire that a previous owner installed and never took out.

following it back would be time consuming, painful, and kinda foolish... Why doesn't the OP try turning on the fog light switch (and other switches as well) and seeing if the connector has power. The clip holding it to the frame looks OEM but I can't say the connector/plug at the end does...

OP, as near as I can tell, it's likely an aftermarket wire/s. Your left front impact sensor is missing. According to the ETM, it should be mounted in the two holes marked by the red rectangle.

Doubt it, the plug for the impact sensor is yellow.
