That is the AT auxiliary air regulator. That wire carries 12V power to its
heater. The wire should connect to a wire that exits from the same branch of
the wiring harness as the oil pressure switch; it should have 12V on it any
time the engine is running.
With the wire disconnected, the AAR should measure 15-20 Ohms from its red wire
to ground.
