Outside Air Temp Sensor Location??
I did the cooling system split on my 06 E55.
Took it to the self serve car wash to hose down the engine bay and the underside before putting the belly pans back one.
Well, ended up with this wire hanging in the wind. I cannot find where it goes.

My OAT display in the dash is now reading -40F so it must go to the outside air temp sensor. I just can't find the thing to plug it back in, or it is gone.
Any idea where the temp sensor is??
