What's this thing?

Found it after doing my compressor coil clutch. It's on the passenger side of the engine bay. It looks like it's supposed to be connected to something.

It is the 'bonnet unlatched' sensor.

It connects to the latch itself. I had to replace this sensor years ago in my R53. Just play around with angles and you'll find where it goes.

Where did you get your coil from? I need to do mine pretty quick here.
