Default Yes The Black Dangly Cord In The Front Bumper

So when my headlights got stolen i had to replace the fenders and do some work on the hood. all fine and dandy got the e-codes and everythings back together exceptttt theres a black wire hanging inside my bumper with a circular connector and no where to go. Its around the middle. Anyone have a clue? PS. 2001 Audi S4. Thanks Alot

Its not a grounding wire... its a weird black connector maybe a male type that almost looks like a cigarette lighter dongle. I dunno i think it might have been the headlight washer power if there is... thats maybe why my headlight washers aren't working? I just don't want to pull the bumper off again... pain in the ****
