Plastic cylinder looking thing with wires coming out of it on each end.
Both sides of the engine compartment
Probably should know this, but never really cared; until now

I think that is the connector for the brake pad wear sensor.

+1 If you unplug it, the brake pad light "should" come on

Also if you have anti lock brakes the wheel sensor also goes through it, I believe. Don't know as yanked mine off years ago.

Connector for both ABS sensors and brake pade wear sensors. There is one at every corner. A third blank connection is used on 928's for TPMS, I believe.
