Electrical Side Marker/ Ambient Air Temp Sensor

2005 Kompressor W203 M271 180K Miles for reference.

The fog lights on these vehicles come off its been very common the screws that hold them on fall off and the only thing that holds them on is the harness. I lost the passenger side fog light along time ago along with the ambient temp sensor. The side marker some how came off it's socket and all the wires where dangling so I finally came around bought the plugs for everything and started the process of repairing them by crimping on new wire and connecting them to their respective plugs.

The fog light worked tested it out and everything is fine...

Now the ambient sensor as far as I can when we tested it with a power probe had zero voltage going to it so i'm lost there and the side marker had 5 volts but the light side marker bulb is not lighting up... I checked the fuse guide located inside nicely folded which I just discovered and these do not run on fuses and given that the driver side marker works just fine I am kinda stumped as to where I went wrong? All I did was crimp new wire which was 16GA to all of them and trying to find some help before tracing the wire which I am going to need some help if anyone knows if these wires go into the front SAM or has diagram.

Thanks!

Update:

Had the wires mixed up the ambient temperature sensor is Brown/Green thought this would be the side marker since the fog light was also brown/green!
