What is this?

Could someone please identify this wire? I was replacing my Vac pump, and noticed some bare copper. Its right next to the vaccum port that the vac line connects to from the pump. Its on the drivers side fender well. i would like to replace that connector and/or whatever its connected to. Thanks.

That plug coming off the round part, Im assuming some kind of vaccum diaphram?

Vacuum sensor. It is supposed to trigger the brake light in the dash if the vacuum gets low.

Thanks for the info. That definitely isnt working as no light came on when my vac pump went out in the middle of phoenix traffic.

Having a hard time finding a new plug for that sensor, the insulation on mine is all gone. It was actually blowing my gauge fuse. Anyone have a part number for that plug?
