Default Someone ID this elec part?

Any idea what this is? It had two 14 gauge wires connected to it, although not connected to anything else. Doesn't mean anything though as the whole wiring system was pretty trashed and hacked together. Can't find it in the ASM or wiring diagram, and the new harnesses don't appear to connect to it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thats the power window circuit breaker. On my '70 it's mounted on the firewall between the brake booster and the wiper motor. One heavy red wire feeds it from your horn relay and one heavy orange wire leaves it and goes thru the firewall and inside to your power window relay that is mounted on the forward underside of your shifter tunnel.
