what is this?

I was under the truck today and saw that there are two weatherpack connectors, on the splash gaurds for the front wheels, one per side. wondering their purpose is. looks like there is two wires going down to the connector.
either side is identical. they are attached with those platic clips the whole way down so its not like the fell off somewhere

If the plugs are by the wheel well, they most likely go to the speed sensors on trucks with 4 wheel anti lock brakes.
