Can Anyone Identify this connector?

[Radiation Joe]

Finally pulled the trigger and took delivery of a Ruby Red, EcoBoost, manual, PP with Recaros, yesterday. This is what I noticed when I came out to the car later. Dealer is 3 hours away. Anyone know what this connector goes to?

If you can wait 'til I get home from work I'll crawl under mine and try to figure out what it goes to. In the meantime, I would at least ziptie it away from the exhaust pipe.

Looks kind of like the temp sensor for the rear diff.

Thanks YukonRally. I figured it went to the diff or a fuel tank. I didn't realize the EcoBoost cars had a diff temp sensor.

Thanks TorqueMan. No need to crawl around. I appreciate the offer, though.

I was taking a swag based off my 5.0. Were you able to verify if it was the sensor?

I'm at the dealership and they are stumped. We can't find the connection point. No temp sensor on this car.

Dummy connector. Doesn't go anywhere unless GTPP or Shelby. Dealer tied it back up. Thanks for the help.

I have the same connector that doesn't connect to anything. I don't think its caused any issues yet (I have a 2016 EB PP with 18k miles).

That's what I was gonna say. It should be an unused connector that's used on other models, as noted above.

Hmmm. I found a similar connector directly above the differential--see attachment. I took the photo from the right side of the differential, in front of the right axle looking up. Note the retaining clip securing the wire. Is it possible this is a diagnostic port?
