My car is having problems. I've been working on it for weeks.

I need help identifying this small rectangle electrical thing bolted here, which came apart from its shell when I tried to pull the connector. I don't know if that damaged it.

It looks like the shop put a different bolt to hold this on and I want to know what it is so I can figure out what it does.

I think there are small ceramics for resisting and dissipating heat, inside of it. Like I said, it pulled apart when I grabbed it.

The connector is orange. The wires go to a larger group of wires.

This is the approximate stock location, but most of my engine bay components are moved, I'm sure you can figure out where this is though,
