1990 200TQA Heater Valve

[cobram at juno.com]

What does the electrical connector on the heater valve do?  I checked the
ETKA, and the part number for the heater valve is: 431819809A, which
comes up as the "normal" water valve, without the electrical connector
going into it.

I haven't seen this connector before (hooked up anyway) on any of my
other type 44's.

I tried the archives, couldn't find anything except mention of the
hanging connector on a car or two.  Does this connector actually do
something useful, or can I just eliminate it by installing the new heater
valve sans connector?
