Unknown Wire Connector Disconnected

Hi Everyone,

I replaced the radiator and thermostat on my 08 TL Type S and when I went under to reconnect all the electrical connectors, I had an extra connector that I really don’t remember and can’t find where to plug in,

I’ve plugged in both fan harnesses / connectors and the one in the driver side has this extra connector split on it’s same wire (see photo)

Car won’t even attempt to turn over, assume it’s related to whatever this thing is

Appreciate

any insight

ENgine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2?

I’ve googled a lot and seems like it could be related to the engine coolant temperature sensor, the second one that apparently is below on the driver side. But I still can’t find where it’s at to plug it back in u.u

Swapped off old radiator sensor

Turns out I couldn’t find where to plug it in cause you’re supposed to take it off the old radiator and install it on the new one. Was wondering why there were two drain plugs in the new one.... installed it, engine still doesn’t turn over, am going to take the cables off and let it sit for awhile to maybe reset...

I may be mistaken but that looks like a bulb socket connector, does your fogs work?

No it was definitely the coolant sensor that goes into the bottom of the radiator on the driver side. The car wouldn't turn over cause I accidently knocked off the ground on the starter. Once that was plugged in the car turned over and started, the sensor was connected so no errors popped up after.
