Help - Anyone Know What This Is???

I was checking codes today. This connector is next to the test harness. I thought at first it was the power one so I popped the cap off it, which promptly flew down into the frame...somewhere. I don't know if this was an unused connector or if the cap was actually a fuse or something, kinda looks like it could have been. Anyone know what this connector is for?

Never mind, I got my answer. It is the octane shorting bar or octane adjusting bar. I lost the cap and a tech at the dealer told me to just cut the plug and short the two wires together, which is what I did. Repair cost: $0.

^ True.. Looks similar to the spout connector also, if that's what he's calling octane bar.
