Default White connector under TA Running light

Figure this is the section that has the most people that have torn apart the lights up front of the car and I am hoping that is what this connection is for.

On the Driver side only of my wife's TA there is a lone white connector that I can't figure out for the life of me what it hooks up to. It comes off the same bulk harness the turn signal, fog light, side marker, and headlight harnesses come from. It is similar to the Fog light connection but is slightly smaller. It has two prongs inside of it with two wires, black and red.

I am wondering if this actually connects to anything or if it is something used for the DRL's on a Camaro and the cars just shared the same harness from the factory. If a picture is needed I can get one snapped.

I have looked through my Helm manual through the body sections and lighting sections and found nothing. The Helm manual makes mention of the DRL system but glancing at their drawing there are more than two wires present in each connection and it specifies Camaro in the title of the procedure.

Is there something I am missing on the underside of the car? This is driving me nuts.

Snap a pic. It'd make it really easy to identify for you.

Hopefully these pics come through, if not let me know. IN the last pic its the wire going down to the bottom that is in question.

AIR pump? That's the only thing I would think would be there, while it apparently isn't.

Bingo! Totally even forgot this was there! Will tuck it off somewhere out of site and out of mind. Thanks a bunch!
