Looks like the power steering pressure switch. It idles the motor up when the steering is at full lock. Should be a Brown wire and black wire.

Thanks for your response. Where would.I find the other end? Near the steering rack?

The high pressure hose. If you follow it from the pump to where it meets the 90 degree steel fitting, the switch is located there. It's unnecessary for the car to run as all it does is tell the IACV to bump the idle a few RPM to compensate for the pump strain having the rack at full lock. I haven't had mine hooked up in over 8 years since the car was swapped with an SR. I deleted the switch last year when I replaced my high pressure line.
