Engine Harness, alternator branch

Alright guys, I need your help. I know it's staring me in my face but I just can't seem to see it. I have just put my rebuilt motor into the car and have just about finished hooking up all the connections. There is just one more to go, but for the life of me I can't figure out where it goes. It's a single wire, male connector off of the engine harness, (NOT the emission cntrl. under manifold) on the driver's side. Right off of the alternator branch. It's not to the oil pressure sender but not far from it. It's brown with a white stripe. Now before you trash me I have searched all the manuals including the wiring, and threads but still no luck. I have a 93 touring manual shift. PICS of that area under the intake pipe might work as well.

Answer - Coolant level sensor wire - Brown/white - connector C1-06 - reference page Z-44 in the green manual. The gentleman above is missing his connector.

I thought that was it too but I already have my coolant level sensor connected. It isn't on that harness that is pictured. It's on the one attached to the battery harness that comes off the alternator. The two ac connectors, the starter connections, and the oil pressure sensor are also on this branch as well as the coil connector. I'll double check the mentioned ref. Hell, I could be wrong but I'm sure I have the CLS connected!!

Thanks Guys and sorry about the double posting. Don't know how that happened!!

Found it!! Just like I said.It was stareing me in the face. Don't know if it is a coolant line or not but all wires are accounted for!! Got up this morn just to take another quick look and there it was laying under the oil filler neck.
Thank you for all your help. I love this site!!! You guys are awesome!!!!!

There are two connectors which are similar on that side:

1. Oil pressure sender
2. Coolant sensor

One of them comes off the lower harness, the other comes off the main engine harness. The coolant sensor should come off the engine harness. If you have the coolant sensor hooked to a different one, you have them backwards.
