My V8 parts car has a little sensor with one wire coming off it,But its not plugged to anything and I cant find no wires that might have gone to it. Any one know what that thing is for?

If it has a round spot in the middle, and is mounted to a small bracket with a single screw, it's the ambient air temp sensor for the A/C. Keeps the compressor from running when it's below the calibrated temp to avoid freezing up the compressor/system.

I figured it was an AC device,someone must have changed the grill because the car came without AC.
