Odd part in Driver's Fender

Hey guys,
While I've been "restoring" the 'bird from the accident, I noticed an odd part sitting next to my horns...I've never seen anything like it, and am pretty confused...I followed the wires back to the firewall, but from there I don't know where they go...I've got two pics, one to show where it was and one "closeup" of it.

Any help you guys can give as to identifying it would be great. Thanks!

Miah

Looks like the relic of some sort of dated car alarm (sort of like the corvettes had the key in the fender). I once looked at a terminal formula that had something similar mounted in it's fender, didn't care to ask why after seeing the car in person.

Here's what my method is:

1. Unplug it
2. Run car
3. If car runs go to step 4. If not, plug it back in
4. Tear it out! It's weighing you down!
