What is this thing??

I have been wondering what this connector was for ever since it came loose from under the dash. I didn't try to take the cover off fearing I'd break the clips off. It is under the dash just to the right of the steering wheel. Anybody know what the purpose of it is?

If this a computer controlled vehicle, I think you found the power relay for the computer.
