Body Harness questions

Hey Guys, Hope someone here can help me identify these two items. The first is a cable that goes to the negative post connector for he battery. It has a white connector on it. What is this for why is there a connector? I am moving some of the harness around for a REW swap and want to know if i can just ground this to the body?

The second looks like a resistor. It sits at the bottom of the strut tower on the passenger side. Need to know what its used for. A quick search has turned up a fuel pump relay OR a resistor for injectors.


Thanks

The white plug is for your electric power steering. The resistor is the fuel pump as you suspected.

Thanks for the info. The last thing I'm looking for is info on is the positive battery connection fuse block. Two black wires come out of it. One goes to the starter and one goes to the main fuse block. And then there is a white wire that comes of the 60 amp fuse which I believe is for the electric power steering. The white wire goes back into the harness. My assumption is that this goes to power a control unit for the power steering. Can anyone confirm this or correct me?

60amp fuse is hot for power steering, white plug as I stated is the cold for the power steering.
