I dont think thats anything factory. Maybe whoever had the car before you had something installed there. Follow the wires and see where they go.

I could be wrong though.

It looks like it goes to the wot switch. Do you have nitrous?

You probably dont have the switch. It was probably used by the previous owner for something.

um it used to attach on the bottom of the switch next to the other wire. but you can see the copper terminal still inside the connector which means the terminal broke off the switch.

It goes to the microswitch, the mircoswitch was used to activate something at WOT ie: nitrous.
