I assume you have a airbag car. That looks like a airbag sensor. Reason I say this is the white connection. My 93 only has white connectors like that for airbag. Maurice

sorry about that, its a 1990, 2.3L auto, yes its an air bag car, and id love to take this out without destroying the steering wheel, does anybody know if the air bag will like blow up if i un hooked this thing.

Disconnect the battery and wait 30-45 minutes. That should kill the power to the air bag controller. Then you can disconnect the collision sensor.

Are you just trying to lighten it up?

Chandler is 1000% CORRECT. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM HAS A 30V holdover power supply. Be careful and let it discharge. I took a course on air bags and it got my attention rather fast. One other point when connecting or disconnecting the battery in an air bag car follow this RULE. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE FIRST WHEN REMOVING A BATTERY. WHEN INSTALLING ALWAYS CONNECT NEGATIVE LAST. I saw a 1 hour training film on this and it blew my mind. As a matter of fact if you mess up on an air bag system thats exactly what could HAPPEN. Dudes be careful with air bags they are really DANGEROUS Peace TOM
