Default Washing my bike and this popped off?

i was pushing a rag between my motor with a stir stick, and this popped off. What is it, what does it go to, and do I need to take off my fuel tank to reconnect it?

Heres more. Dad says it probably wasn't connected to anything, his roadking has lots of empty connections like this?

From the amount of dirt inside it I don't think it was hooked up to anything, OEM harnesses have a number of extra non used connections for various models and add-on's.
