Default What is this part? Cooling System related?

Changed my radiator and fans the other day and this part fell/came off of something. I have no idea what it is. It has A11 on one side. Any ideas? 1990 Honda Accord Ex....Thanks.

Is that a broken wire out the back of it? Looks like the connector for the A/C compressor clutch. A single wire comes forword from the clutch to a connector mounted on the lower left (driver) side of the left fan shroud. Turn your A/C button on, see it the clutch engages or not.

^^^ Would the a/c clutch make a certain sound or could I visually be able to see something near the compressor?

You know my condensor fan does not come on...could this be the cause? From another thread I read, these connectors are located behind the PS resevoir?

Ok...the a/c clutch connector is still there with the red wire. This connector looks like it had a black wire to it. Thanks for all the help.
