Mystery Connector??

So in another thread I showed how my driver side axle is out of commission and I don't remember seeing this ever before my axle went haywire, but does anyone happen to know where this connects too??? Ive searched in the area but I can't find where it would connect to. It's a 6 pin connector but only 3 pins being used.

Going to move you to the Stock Problems/Issues area.

That is the driver side? Thinking there is a plug on that side that mates to a plug into the transmission.

It's the connector for the Xenon headlight level sensor on the control arm.
