Can anyone identify this dangling plug behind driver side foglight.

Hey guys, picked up a used 100, looks like the front left was in a fender bender.

Noticed this dangling plug with what looks like a rheostat or something attached to it. Obviously this isn't how it's supposed to be.. can anyone identify what this is (the copper wire wrapped thing) and what it's supposed to be attached to?

Also I'm assuming that I'm missing a splash guard? can anyone advise?


thanks!

It is definitely not factory. Someone has been playing around it seems. Surely someone will answer your question, but it looks like an inductor coil or some type of coil.

Looks like a relay with the cover broken off. Maybe it was installed for some after market lights or something? Anything on your truck look aftermarket or are there signs of things that were there (holes in the bumper, etc.)?

thats what I thought too... but the plugs look oem.

could this possibly be a part of the windshield wiper fluid pump motor? mine doesn't squirt

Unplug it and see what happens.
