random hanging wire

Just noticed a write hanging on the passenger side just forward of the transmission. Its a three wire half moon connector, looks like the connector goes through into the engine bay. Anyone know what its for?

That is the wire for your block heater. The heater is in the freeze plug hole behind the starter.
