mk1 Focus had a recall to fit that switch and wiring, if underbonnet temp got too high to switch the fans on.

This question must be asked every week on here!

It's an under bonnet air temp switch, which will make the fans come on if it gets too hot. Should be clipped to the side of the battery box.
