That is the park lock cable, maybe these will help you.

The cable is attached to the ignition switch only and will have to be disconnected from the back of it if you plan to replace the whole ignition switch. It is rather simple to do if you follow the instructions given. You will only have to disconnect the cable from the switch and not from the shifter assembly.
