Dangling in the middle behind grill,wondered if it's a feed for fogs or spots but no power to it,unless a fuse has been left out until needed?
Can any one help identify this wire?thanks.

There are several wires behind the grill, some are for testing, some are spots (other items not fitted fuse/relay/switch etc).

It had a plug and blanking plug on a 2wire cable clipped behind the front grill?

If it's on the central vertical brace behind the grille, then it's a temperature sensor for the air con.

Humm, what year and type of controls do you have;

The front air temp. sensor G3-12 is Red/Green and Yellow/Black, maybe your missing seeing the green trace on the red, actually I see now that you say it has a blanking plug - I think you might find the "blank" is the sensor itself!
