Sorry, I checked but dont see any similar connector. I have an RS so they could be the reason

Can you trace that harness or does it go into a bundle?

Looks like it's right on the back of the power steering pump. Mine has two body clips on it.

The black connector should hook up to the blue wire connector and the blue wire goes to the back of the pump on mine.

thank you very much, I talked to a tuner and mechanic they said that wire isn't important, I might just leave it alone for now.

Not 100% on this, but it could be the wire responsible for sending the signal to the ecu that ramps up idle when using the steering wheel.
