I have a '97 855 and not a '94 so I could be missing the obvious, but I haven't seen that type of unit or clip over connector in a Volvo before. Maybe it is part of an aftermarket alarm system? Besides the main cable, are there any other vacuum hoses or wires going in?
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94

Drove all the way to FCP in milford CT from NYC, best drive ever. I needed the motive brake bleeder for myself and customers cars and couldn't wait for the next biz day. Any who i showed this module behind the driver headlight to bill from FCP and even he never saw this before but def confirmed it's a dealer item. He said he'll find out this week for me in regards to the module. FCP new factory is beyond amazing
