Default Randon 6 pin connector help

Hey guys, working on a 98 S70 Vin# yv1Ls5578w1531180.
It had front end damage and I have found a 6 pin connector that I have no idea where or what it was connected too. It is possible that it is just a random, but I want to make sure. Dont want to order a new harness just to fix the headlight connector.
Here is what I know.
6 pin connector the wire colors are as follows
Black
Red
Orange/white tracer
pink/white tracer
purple/white tracer
red/black tracer
the only wire that is still connected to the connector is Pin location 1 and it is the Red/black wire.

I have found resistance between the fuse #23-24 on the orange/white wire
and then resistance with the rest to 26,27,28,29.

Please help. Gonna try to load this pic. kinda blurry. the outter part of the connector is torn up.


THis is what a new one looks like

Did it seem to go under the hood or under the car?

You know what, thats the wierd part. It appears to go under the car, and almost appears to have the tab (button you push into the fram to keep in place) go in the wheel well. But yes it does appear to go under car, not under hood.

Let me see if I can figure out where it goes I am on vacation this week. So I don't have a car to look at. But let me rack my brain and try to figure it out.

I haven't had one come in yet. But if all is working then maybe it is a dummy plug. Under the front there usually is the plugs for hte foglights,Temp sensor, and one dummy one. I cannot recall that a common plug that I remove for anything.

Finally tracked it down on a car. The US models it is for nothing. It attaches to a plastic part just above the washer bottle.
