Question unhooked sensor

One of the sensors or wires or something coming out of my fuse box under the hood isn't plugged in. It is next to my intake and there is like 5 or so other wires hooked in to the fans and intake and stuff. This one just hangs near my fan and intake but it isn't long at all and I don't see anywhere to hook it in. Any help would be appreciated.

Possibly could have gone to the air pump.

No, I am not getting an ses light. But my car has been running very badly and nobody can tell me why and I was thinking this might be it.

The sensor has a red little clip thing on it too. That looks like it goes in right next to the sensor.

Oh and if this helps at all, my abs inop light has been on. So it might be that but if it is I don't know where the sensor goes.

Follow the metal lines from your brake master cylinder to your abs box. On top of the ABS box there should be some electrical connectors. That unplugged sensor could be one of those that are supposed to be plugged into your ABS. Here's a pic from shoebox's site: ABS HTH

Comming from the fuse box if you look under the car there is one set of wires that has the two sensors for the fans and then this sensor which for me just hangs there.

I just took a peek in my 93 engine bay. There is no motor, so i can see very good. The only wires in the car is from the fuse box ( no ecm wires ) I can see 3 connectors to the abs, one wire to the air pump, 2 connectors to the fans. there is also a big connector that goes to the abs. it has 6 wires to it. It connects from under the abs, so its hard to see. I hope thats what it is. If not let me know and i'll look some more

If you look at the pic posted by patriot I have the three wires in then the black box looking thing in that pic has a big one connected in it on my car. Then I have traced the two going into the fans. The other one goes to the air pump? Where is that? Sorry I am just learning all of these things about our car.

If anyone could show me a picture or explain where the sensor to the air pump is that would be very helpful.

the sensor that is unhooked is hanging right next to the first fan, I have looked and looked and can't find a place where it goes.
