What the...... strange blue box

[Tavern Gnome]

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,

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

[Tavern Gnome]

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.

Never seen that before...

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

[xLibelle]

[Japandrew73]

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.
