Thats the Ambient Temp Sensor. [The ambient temperature sensor on a **2008 Chevy Cobalt** is located behind the **driver’s side headlight bracket**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwfUm0JHA4Q)[1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwfUm0JHA4Q)[2](https://www.chevycobaltforum.com/threads/where-exactly-is-the-ambient-temperature-sensor-on-2008-cobalt.4037/).

That part probably doesn’t connect to anything electrical, at least on the protrusion your photo shows, just fits into a space where an accurate air temperature measurement is possible. It would seem like placing it near a headlight wouldn’t be a good spot b/c of the headlight heat, but they must have figured out a way . My Corolla has one too, and it fits a hole in the engine air filter housing.
