    The wires for it are attached to my horn's wiring harness. I can't seem to locate this part to find out what it does.

    I believe that is the outside air temp sensor.

    I bet you guys are right. I'll find out by adding a hair dryer to it and see if the temp jumps up.

    Wonder why its not listed in my service manual....

    Look under the air conditioner electrical/controls. That sensor feeds the A/C computer, which produces a signal for the roof console temp/compass module (if so equipped). (Applies to 2009+)
