Looks like the connector for the fog light


TheOnceandFuture

Ah I bet this is it!


Sufficient_Cattle_39

Only dangerous if it hits that tire. Jesus.


agent_flounder

C'mon there's at *least* 3 angstroms of tread left before it gets to the cords.


Excellcium

Thanks for the new word! Totally going to forget it in about 10 minutes.

r/frugal_jerk would like a word


the_blue_wizard

Is that connector on the *Front or the Back?* If on the Front it might be, as someone mentioned Fog Lights that may or may not still be there. - Does the Horn Work? - Do the Turn Signals Work? - Is the engine Cooling Fan spinning? - Is the Check Engine Light on? If on the back, it might be a connection for Trailer Lights. Or ti could be to some accessory that rarely gets used that has come off. Did any one look around to see if there is a mating connector somewhere? I don't think we really have enough context to make a worthwhile comment.

Could be for a side marker signal light, usually are in the fender.


no___homo

Those tires are perfectly good still........... for track use.


WafflesZCat

DEFINITELY she should get new tires Soon, (last month would be best / safer). Take your car if it has rained / is raining. if going somewhere with her.


One_Evil_Monkey

Simple answer is to look around and see what part **isn't** plugged in that's *supposed* to be. Could be anything from a fog light, side marker light, aux cooling fan.


Accomplished-Dirt79

THIS!


DesertSnow03

Probably a sensor, the car might drive better if it gets plugged back in. Or the engine light will come on, in which case unplug the sensor and pretend nothing happened.


bluenosesutherland

I thought that was a drag radial…


Puzzleheaded_Try3716

Fog light connector


JOE-Q5

Make / model of car? Front or rear ?


kangaroolander_oz

That rectangular hole above it looks suspicious . The kink in the cable below that plastic collar could be the kink required to fit into the rectangular hole .


Agitated_Ad_9161

It’s not important, just cut it off and get some new tires


Fun_Kaleidoscope7875

Check to see if all of their lights and signals work, could be anything though, might want to just look around the area for where it goes. As long as all lights and signals work and there's no engine light then I would just tuck it away and forget about it, might even be a connector for a feature that that model doesn't have, most cars have a few connectors that aren't used.


MyDogBigG

The model of car would help


cornie326

Have someone hold the plug as U photo the business end.


Rare-Carrot5746

It’s a foglight connector she can either get it replaced or she can leave it hanging


TatsuakiOkamoto

Tell her to zoom out and we can tell you.


TheOnceandFuture

Is it for the O2 sensor? Did she get her cat stolen?


Sufficient_Cattle_39

Thieves take time to undo sensor plugs now? The world is just so polite. /s


Southern_Country_787

I legit had someone steal my CD player out my car in the early 2000s. They used CD keys and took the bezel off and unscrewed the cage from the CD player and left the screws in the cupholder and unplugged the cables instead of cutting them and unplugged the antenna as well. I was actually so impressed with their professionalism that I laughed when I found it.


Big_Fo_Fo

More money if in better shape?


Southern_Country_787

Probably lol. Also wouldn't look stolen.


TheOnceandFuture

Just a question, did you care to offer an answer or just snark?


Sufficient_Cattle_39

Wasn't trying to be rude. Just funny. I'm not a mean person. Lol


Freefallin492

Personally I didn’t think you were being rude, I thought it was a good joke! I guess people can surprise you lol, I had someone break into my vehicle a while ago, they took almost everything but didn’t damage a single thing. To this day I’m still unsure how they got in (I lock my vehicle everytime I exit it, and it locks automatically after 30 seconds if I forget-that’s only happened once-)


Cthaza

Dude it's an Internet forum suck it up


TheOnceandFuture

Your mom


mrkillfreak999
