What is this part?

So this part is on the front drivers side inner fender, there was a vacuum line on it, and when i went to replace the vacuum line the nipple broke off? What is the part for and what does it do?

Low vacuum warning light switch = makes the BRAKE light come on.

Plug the vacuum line and you will be okay.

Bad connection, switch or bulb? It should show light up when you turn on the key.
