new to diesel ...weird hanging sensor??

Well, this morning I was in an accident. I was going about 40 miles an hour, and the roads were slick. Speed limit is 50 and i'm traveling about 3 car legnths behind the car in front of me. All of a sudden stupid lady comes to a complete dead stop for a reason that I do not know. Well we know how it goes from here with these heavy trucks. I can't go to the left, because I would cross median, and traffic to the right. Well brakes lock I slide forward and crash into her. Two seconds later I see a little white dog come from the front of her car and walk down the street. Her car is SMASHED back bumper is near her rear windshield, and absolutely nothing wrong with my truck . I wait for cops trade insurance and drive away

Anyway about the post now I have a weird hanging sensor that looks like its plugged that I have never seen before by the driver headlight next to the grille. I took a picture. I do not know if this is normal, bad, or where it is supposed to be.. I read that it may be overhead temp sensor because they said it would be behind grille of driver headlight but I really have no idea. maybe accident knocked it out of place.. thanks for help in advance...

My first and only guess is the temp sensor for the overhead console. Try unplugging it and see what it does.
