Help identifying a part

Dumb question but what is this? It's located under the driver side floor area above the frame. All the wiring is in need of replacing so I'll probably go with a universal wiring harness but not sure what this is. Thanks

It looks like the headlight dimmer switch.

That makes sense, It's what's left of one. Thanks.

Your local Napa should be able to get one: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ECHD...pressionRank=1

Mac's also has one: https://www.macsautoparts.com/ford-p...ment_tab-title

I bought the NAPA part 16 yrs ago and it's doing well, but not a part that gets used a lot either. The MACs part isn't one I'd trust with 10 - 15 amps going thru it.
