Hood light and fuel pump "priming" connector. Hooking it to the + terminal of the battery will directly power the fuel pump.

Yes, unless you want it to run for some reason. I used this connector when diagnosing my fuel problems. It's easier than turning the key on and off. I also used it to power the pump so that I could drain my old fuel tank before removal.
