I recently replaced a busted radiator in my 1991 toyota corolla fwd wagon. I think that I have hooked up everything correctly... but there is one last cable that I just can't figure out. It runs across the top of the radiator from the driver side then straight down... My dad threw out the old radiator and I am really stuck on this one. I have attached a photo, could you please help me determine what this cable is, and where is should be going? The picture is missing the midsection of the cable, it has a circular connector on the mystery end and I believe it runs straight down the back of the radiator... thanks for the help!

There is a temp sensor on the radiator, on the bottom of the radiator. You should have removed the old sensor from the bad radiator and installed it in the new one.
If you can find the old radiator, remove it and install on new one. If not get a new sensor from Toyota.
