Can anyone identify this wire/connector? It's just been hanging around on the passenger side of the engine bay connected to nothing. The second picture shows where it comes through the firewall at the heater core...which doesn't seem right to me.

It's definitely not a factory connector. Where do the wires lead once they enter the car? Does it have any type of aftermarket alarm system?

Nope, no alarm system. Didn't seem right to me where it was coming from. I should have looked to see where it was coming from when I had the dash out for the heater core. I'll do some searching around to see if I can find what, if anything, it is connected to. Thanks

It is the low pressure cutout for the A/C. Notice the A/C accumulator behind your hand has a 2 conductor connector with blade type connectors.
