Default WTH is this?

So i took my battery tray out because it made it easier to pull out the radiator, and theres an odd looking part under there. it has nipples for two hoses on it (i could only find one of the hoses btw) and then hoses that come off those nipples to the other side of whatever it is, and it has a 3 wire plug going into it.

Anyone have a clue what that might be?

I believe part of the cruise control is under the battery tray.

Okay. I didnt know that was under there. I was only able to locate one hose that could possibly go on it. Where should the other one be/go? Does anyone know where I can find a diagram?

Only one hose goes to it. The other port is a vent. When the cruise turns off or you hit the brakes the pressure releases through the port with no hose.

On most of them the black nipple gets the hose and the white one is the vent.
