It's meant to 'help' retain the wires on a two pin connector, not really sure how much good it does?

I removed it from the connector for the speedo 'pick-up' and didn't put it back on, speedo working so 'if it ain't broke' . . . . .

Thanks Alan, so that's the wires running into one of the bulbs in this case I guess?
