    What the...... strange blue box

    So I went digging around under the dash of my car last night looking for a "johnson box". I stumbled upon this big blue box next to another black box that I am assuming is an old alarm system. This is under the drivers side of the dash. Any ideas? Is that a factory piece? Thanks,

    Ryan

    is it metal or plastic? are all those butt connected wires coming in and out of it?

      Its plastic. I'm not sure what wires are coming out of it. I have to go look again.

        Judging by the amount of butt connectors you have down there, I would guess that's not OE.

          Aftermarket alarm (or whatever)

          Could be a bomb though.

            I think the butt connectors you are seeing have more to do with the black alarm box. I think.

                  So we'll call it a bomb then. Now the real question, do I cut the green or blue wire?! :shock:

                          DO NOT CUT ANY WIRES!!!!

                          until the counter gets down to 3 seconds, then proceed to make a hasty decision.

                            Don't cut anything until you check it for markings. If this is in your Hartge, it could be the Hartge ECU piggyback. (I've heard of the H35-24s having those)

                              Haha don't worry. I won't be cutting any wires Kronus. I'm actually trying to find the fuel controller that the importer may have installed to pass US emissions.
