What is this electrical plug?

On my F350 2005 6.0 on the back of the plastic (lack of a better term) surrounding the right front wheel well there is an electrical plug and wire that runs up the frame towards the engine. I have noticed that the AC condensation drips right on that wiring plug. What is that plug and should I cure it with dielectric grease.

Thanks

Is that the block heater cord? Should wire in above the starter.

If you can post a picture of it, it would give us a better idea. But by what you describe so far, it sounds like your right front ABS wheel speed sensor connector, if it's the one clipped to the rearward side of the inner fender.

That would make sense and I will get a pic tomorrow. Regardless it probably needs to get waterproofed because whatever it is I would guess constant water on it cant be good.
