What is this broken part?

I noticed this while I was doing an oil change. I was told it is the a/c idle choke but I can't seem to find it in the service manual.
Would love to be pointed in the right direction!

It's the A/C full throttle cutout switch, it cuts off the A/C for 12 seconds when you want full power. It's not hugely important. It's also irreplaceable, as far as I can tell.

If someone can figure out the part number, or a replacement part, I'll be interested.

Thanks Growler!
Do you think I should just leave it be, or remove it before it's broken-itis spreads down the wiring harness and infects all the happy healthy little bits?

I'd remove it. I'd then put it in a labelled ziplock bag and put it in my big box of random Delica parts, but I'm a bit mental like that.

If you remove it, connect its wire to ground somewhere. I don't think it will make a difference, but I haven't figured out exactly how the AC timer module works yet and it's safer if it just thinks you drive like a grandma all the time.

I feel your pain, lol. I have a series of labelled, see-through plastic bins for everything from appliance parts to window parts. Time to start the Delica box!

Thanks again Growler! I feel like I'm getting a post secondary education in Delica repair through your advice and posts!
