He's got an ABS module in there, bottom right of his first picture.

Does look like something's missing, besides the cover for the power steering reservoir.

 

it does look like it might be there...... i guess difference in years, they moved it

it is out of the pic.... but i agree there is something missing.... maybe someone with same year/motor can post a pic

 

no there's not supposed to be anything between the ABS module and PS reservoir. he's just missing the bracket that fills in the spacer there which also holds the harnesses. what you're holding doesn't look like a harness at all. are there any lights on on the dash?

 

here's a pic of my post facelift. the bracket is larger than a prefacelift's but you get the idea. what i have in there is a ballast for my HIDs. if you look at the pic, i have the harnesses out of the holders in the pic

 

It looks so weird because there is no cover on the PS reservoir. And your right, that wire isnt a wire. Its a sensor.....
