Default What is this third harness by front bumper? (not fogs)

So, I'm preparing to wire up some fog lights/winch in the near future on my front bumper, and I came across a 3rd middle plug that was not plugged into anything. Here is a pic of it, it is the longer one in the middle, the two fog light plugs are on the outsides of the pic....



I searched, and even looked around the wiring diagrams in the service manual, but haven't found an answer. Thanks for any help

That will most likely be the pigtail for the outside air temperature sensor that is used on XJ's that have the overhead console with the digital display.

Most late models have the plugs/wiring for accessories even if you do not have them equipped. Easy for "upgrades"
