What is this connector?

While charging the AC on my '92, I noticed this loose connector coming out of the harness.

Anyone know what it is?

Good question!
Same thing on our 87 Camaro. I do not recall if it's always hot or not. I was going to use it as a power for a fuel pump or fan, but decided against it no knowing if fused or relayed.

If so it will only be hot when the hood is up.

No, it's not the hood light. I can say that 100%, since that pic was taken with the help of the underhood light.

Someone said it was the fuel pump test jumper wire.

It would look to be the Fuel Pump Prime Connector or Fuel Pump Test Connector based on Red wire color and connector. According to the 1992 Firebird manual, it's located near the fuel pump relay. That's where mine is on my 1992 T/A Convertible 5.0L TPI. But yours is on the passenger side?
