Default Heated Wiper Electrical Connector

Long story short, while replacing my struts a few months back I stumbled upon an electrical connector unplugged hanging out under the cover that covers the top of the strut on the driver side.

I was baffled as everything works in the car. Just noticed today when the sun hit my windshield (after two years) there are heating elements at the bottom of the windshield.

Im guessing that plug was never plugged in when the windshield was replaced shortly before I purchased the car.

My question is, where is the electrical connection on the windshield side for the heating elements? I dont see anything within the panel of the driver strut.

Sorry, was hoping someone might have some insight with this.

If this helps, here is a picture of the harness 'floating' around the driver side strut area.

I looked at a wiring diagram and the connector for the windshield uses 3 wires, so I don't think that is what your mystery wire is for. Besides, I think the windshield connector would probably be inside the cabin, but that is my guess.

I have a base 07, without all the bells and whistles and I don't have a wire under there.

Perhaps a option that was never installed but Lexus installs the same harness with or without the option.
