Default Hanging wire indentification?

I noticed on my wife's 2012 Softail deluxe this hanging wire behind the air filter. It doesn't appear to have been disconnected but came loose from it's resting place. I can't find where it came loose from. Any ideas? BTW, the bike starts fine.

Probably the international models active intake wiring or CA evaporative emissions. There should be a spot up toward the top where it was placed.

I think might be connection for the Euro flapper door on their intake noise suppression, no really.

Thanks for the replies. I did find out it is related to CA emissions.
