Please help....Broke a small wire/sensor while installing new plugs

Hey guys, does anyone here know what I managed to break while changing my plugs today? It looks like a wire running into some kind of sensor. It's on the passnager side of the block near the back. Is this the CTS by chance? Is this something I need to replace asap? I haven't run the car yet, so I don't know how it has effected it. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it between the last two cylinders? If it is its the temp switch for the second fan, if its on the side of the block ahead of the starter its the knock sensor. cheers, Bob

Is it the secondary fan switch or the main switch? My secondary fan never comes on anyway, cause it comes on with my a/c (which doesn't work). Thanks for the help guys

The main cooling fan is triggered by the ECM via the CTS. Yes the A/C is in parallel to the fan switch in the passenger head.
