Found something ELSE while fixing horn, (PART 2)

Found something ELSE while fixing horn, (PART 2)

While accessing my horns to fix a broken horn wire, I found this sensor in an air (cooling?) duct that leads from the lower front grill on the driver’s side, to the inner fender wheel well liner. (two pics attached) I’m guessing it is sensing the temperature or flowrate of the incoming air? Is it for brake cooling or something else? Can anyone confirm or correct? Thanks very much.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Since it seems to be working just fine, I will carefully button it all back up and continue on my way with the horn broken wire repair.
