Identify this sensor

Alright so I went to mechanic a few times and I think they accidently unplugged this sensor

Let me know where it goes, I tried searching REALoem and no luck. Nothing comes up on the electrical.


Thanks for your help guys!

Looks like a sensor that detects whether the bonnet is fully latched or not. Where exactly are you holding it?

I was going to say the same thing as JAB67 since it looks like a pressure switch and you look to be in the engine bay.

Passenger headlight, about 2 inches back. Would this sensor set of the passenger air bag? Because that sensor just came on too. No idea why though

No, that it is not an airbag sensor.

I just checked in my car and it is absolutely the 'bonnet not fully latched' sensor. Look to the latching mechanism on the passenger side. On the back is a spot for that sensor. It should plug back in. Yours does not look broken, but even if it is, it shouldn't be a very expensive part to replace.
