It looks like it is the water temp sensor for the fans. in the wiring diagram they call it a water thermoswitch. should be a Black/red wire

Yep, that's the connector for the fan thermoswitch. You big time need it, that sensor is one of the inputs that kicks the fans on.

Either find a used connector from a junkyard to splice on or get a auto parts store crimp on female space connector. It's a little ghetto, but it does work. I think you need the smaller one, like for the negative terminal on a speaker.

BTW, see ya at the Dragon!
