Technical What are these?? Mod??

[joncoxon]

Good evening, I have a friend I do some work for and he pointed this out to me in his engine bay. The connector that seems to go nowhere and some taped up thing that looks out of place. Wondered if its a mod that a previous owner has done and I have no idea. I have not looked into it myself.

Any ideas as its got him worried?

Many thanks

Jon

I believe it's a connector for cars fitted with cruise control. It usually clips onto a bracket below the engine fuse box.
