Default What is this?

So I got the dash out of my 78 Pace Car to install the new Vintage Air AC system.
Figured, "while I'm at it" I would clean up the wiring mess that was there.
Bubba was at work here. Many cut and spliced wires that I'm getting sorted out.
However, there is one that I can't figure out what it is. Two wires,
yellow and brown, the brown is fused. It was just hanging off one of the harnesses. It's located to the left of the steering column, next to the rear defogger relay.
I traced the wires back to the console to what I believe is either the alarm relay or the wiper intermittent relay. Again, Bubba was at work there too.
I have a Corvette Wiring Diagram CD that isn't much help.
I have attached a picture, if anyone can tell me what it is, I would surely appreciate it.

Believe it or not that's factory wiring, part of the wiper delay system.
ONLY used in 78 so not a common item.
