I don't think the grommet belongs there either.

They went through the grommet in the firewall and were not connected to anything under the dash. This Jeep had a 70's aftermarket cruise control and some kind of intermittent wiper system and all the wires were routed through the hole in the firewall. Since it's not OE, I'll remove it.
Thanks for the feedback.

That's what it is. I took it off and checked it with an OHM meter and it's a mercury switch.
Thanks guys.

That is a mercury switch for a Dana cruise control. It deactivates the C.C when going down a very steep hill on the highway. The sensitivity of the switch is determined by the angle at which it is mounted.

Yes, it had aftermarket CC.
