Question Where does this plug go?

Please help. I cannot find where this plug goes. I have looked everywhere and cannot find anything missing a plug. On the wire it has the letters SBCE. It is in the area where the passenger headlight is. I do not remember even unplugging this wire, so I don't know where it came from. Thanks a ton.

I don't know man. SBC is a brake system that you shouldn't have. Maybe this is one of those cases where 2 different platforms share a wiring harness.

Surface to air missiles?? Do you see any unused rockets under there?? If there are make sure they're not leaking any tritium.

I think that plug goes to the passenger side hood latch. I'm not completely sure but I think I remember unplugging it when removing the hood latches. Here's a video. The cable looks similar to yours but not sure if it is the same. Skip to 1:54 on the video.
