97 Escort Electrical Question

While poking around my 97 Escort's dash looking to see if I had an electrical trunk release (turns out I have keyless entry), I spotted under the driver's side dash a white connector that was hanging down, it was just behind and above the fuse box. The female connector is white in color and the plug pattern appears to for a standard Ford Electrical Relay. I purchased the car used from a small dealer that buys his cars from bank sales, so he's of no use as far as getting info from him. Is this plug perhaps for an option my car does not have? Just what is it for? Thanks, Raymond

Does everything work....lights, turn signals etc.?

Yes, as far as lights, turn signals, etc... they all work.
