Default Hit a CAT!!! Plug hanging loose. Need help identifying.

I've owned my 06 enthusiast for a week and hit a cat....... cracked the front bumper and made my side skirt wiggle..... ggrrrr..... the plug is hanging down on the passenger side right near the front. I dont know what it is or where it goes. Please help!

Its part of the animal deterrent system, prolly why you hit kitty in the first place.

Best plug it back in she got 8 more lives and now she's pissed!!!

Honestly, I would just raise the front of the car up, make it safe, and crawl underneath to look around. Get to know your car. You'll eventually find the solution.

I should know this. I just removed my whole front end lol


I wanna say the only wire clips that low are either for the rad fans, wiper fluid or the horn since it sweeps down to the bottom of the rad support.


Wiper fluid is to the far left.


Horn and rad fans are mid left to center of the rad support. I'll take a look when I get home since the front bumper is still off my car right now.

Run over the cat in reverse, this should undo all of the cat damage.

it goes to the hyper drive sending unit, without it you'll never reach light speed.

I'm sorry you need to run over a DIFFERENT CAT in reverse. I hope that this clears things up.

OK, warning y'all first that this true story is really B-A-D....

Was driving along this morning and right down my street was a cat apparently in a state of dead due an encounter with an automobile.

First I thought of this thread then.... "Dayam, someone smashed that pus.......".

Then I realized what I'd just thought and laffed at my stupid pun.
