It's the blower motor speed control resistors. Pull it off and there are resister coils on the bottom side. It's placed where it is to get air flow from the blower to help keep it cool.

I think the resistor ones are on the lower part of the evaporator housing.

I figured it out, it's checks ambient temp and as long as it's not 32 degrees or below it will remain shorted to provide power to the compressor. Thanks gents, appreciate your help!
