Behind the glove box... Help!

Hey guys,

So I am changing my cabin filters yesterday and I get back behind the glove box and notice a white wire harness just hanging there. It's not connected to anything and I can't see a place where it might connect. Anyone know 1) what this is or 2) where it plugs in?

Also, as a side note, as my glove box was hanging, the retracting wire snapped so I'll be working today to get that back in.. Stupid. I think I have a plan to get it in, but if anyone has any tips on that, would be much a appreciated.

Will try and post a picture or two in a bit.

bunob is on a distinguished road
It is for the Smart Tire Module System TPMS (tire pressure).

Ahh, perfect. My tire pressure sensor has been working and I didn't see anywhere obvious where this would plug in so maybe on the MY 12's its in a different place.

Also, for anyone wondering, I was able to get the glove box cord back in fairly easily using some fishing line. I just tied the line to the end of the cord and slipped it through the clip. I was able to pull the cord through the clip and then clamped the end with a tiny alligator clip. Works perfectly.

Mine cord came loose and I spent nearly an hour trying to get it fixed. I haven't gotten the courage to reattempt it yet, but i'll see about using your fishing line trick. Thanks for the tip!

Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions. Curious to see what you think about it, and if you think the clip will hold against the pressure or an alligator clip (or something similar). That was my only concern.
