R129 What is this part?

Hi All,

I’ve recently received a 1994 SL500 from my uncle who is no longer driving. It’s a nice low kilometre car.

Today I saw this part hanging under the front bumper bar.

Can someone kindly tell me what it is and where it should be?

That's the air temperature sensor for the instrument cluster's display.

it's usually held in place in the lower grill of the bumper near the left fog light.
