It's the Abs accumulator it is a sphere with a Butyl diagphragm and a high pressure nitrogen charge one side and brake fluid the other..
They can lose their charge after a while, a good indicator is the ABS pump will whine every time the brake pedal is poked.

We're talking about the little connector coming from under the fuse box

Can you see where it traces back to it may be connected to something that will give you a clue the other end.

Press all the buttons and see what doesnt work?
Those wee connectors are used to charge remote control aeroplanes so would guess it is something non standard

It comes from one of the multi plugs under the fuse box. I guess patience with a multi tester and you'd trace it back to a fuse which should give a clue

There is no connector like that around that area on mine.
The connector on the back of the alarm sounder is quite large from what i can see..
Comparing my pic to yours OP that loom seems to either be routed differently.

On mine it was tucked tight under the loom going skiing the back of the battery box, not easy to spot if you're not looking for it

Be careful it maybe the connection for the automatic tampon remover in the drivers seat.

Your car has the BBUS alarm, it might be the connector for the simpler non BBUS alarm when fitted.
