Question What is this for?

This is under my dash of my truck just to the right of the steering column.

2002 F-350 XLT, 7.3 PS, CC, 4X4, CC, DRW. Auto w/OD.

What would this be for?

It is for an auxiliary idle control but I can't tell from the pic whereas I am looking at it via a phone.

I edited my post and removed the original picture and put another picture in.

Maybe you were looking at my post while the picture was removed?

Maybe hit refresh and look again? Thanks.

I may be able to put a larger picture in, if need be.

I see the picture now, but bigger would definitely be better. I can't make out what it is, but I probably wouldn't know anyways, so pay me no mind.....

can you order an AIC from ford to retrofit if you have the plug or is there a PCM parameter that needs to be enabled.
