If I were to guess, I'd say it's the yaw sensor for the active suspension (based on the "do not drop" stamp).

Looks like the wiper motor governor to me...

AH-HA!  Governor for the delay wipers!  makes sense now why the plugs match each other.  ford did their 70's cars delay wiper set-up like this.  makes an super easy swap if you have non-delay wipers.

I believe the switch is still needed, though.

Has a E5 engineering #, the active suspension wasn't avail till the '87 models... The ride control is controlled by a computer in the trunk, look's just like a EEC-IV puter...
