I noticed these things today while I had my front end open. They're on both sides of the radiator on a cross member. My guess is some sort of air sensor?? I feel dumb asking but I didn't find anything on a search and couldn't really trace the wire harness anywhere.

I think those are airbag sensors.

Yes

Yup, impact sensors. Anything with that yellow tape or yellow wire loom is for the airbag system.

Oh cool. I never knew that. Thanks. I figured the way they were sitting up off of that brace they were some kind of temperature thing.

Temp sensor is usually sitting on the rail in the center in front of the radiator.. this is an airbag sensor as stated before.
