Default Found non connected 2 core connector by front of car.

I was changing out some bulbs in the front of the car when I came across this cable and wondered what could/should it be connected too?

It is a 2 core cable and it doesn't have plastic cover on it (unlike this other one I found close to it). The cable colours are blue and black which are the same as the other sealed connector?

I don't have wash wipe, I don't have ACC, I have fog lights but they are working. All of the other lights work. The compressor works too?

Anyone have any suggestions before I have to learn electrical engineering to go check the wiring pages for this cat?

Omg.... It was the bonnet release catch indicator. Somehow I had removed it and placed it beside the airbox. Why, I have no idea, How, I have no idea?

But this is what made me think it was the fog lights.

When checking my lights, I put them on full beam (blue indicator on dash for you americans) and I didn't know that when on full beam with the fog lights on, the fog lights (on my car go off!!!!).

Hence me thinking it was a fog light connector, helped by the blue wire in the wiring diagram saying it was also thew fog light connector.

At this point I am so confused and see what I had to do to find out about the full beam and the headlights..

I am loading a video up to youtube showing this... Link to follow here --->
