What's the box behind the glove compartment?

[kw8z3boi]

So yesterday I was cleaning out the car and I found there was a silver box behind the glove compartment and it look like is an AC Power Oulet?? I'm not sure what that box is but does anyone know for sure? I also found a wire with a little plastic cube, it look like is some kind of relay with missing fuse. I'll try to post some pictures up later.

Do you mean the stock audio amp??

x2. Does your car have the stock head unit? If not, that could be the "missing fuse", ie, they bypassed the fact. amp and didn't use the connector.

YEAH! but for mine looks a little different.

And here is the relay I think.

that would be the cars computer, aka PCM (Powertrain Control Module)

Yeah... Probobly don't want to mess around with that too much.

Go ahead, stick a paper clip or something in there while the car is running. You know you want to!

Not to revive an old thread for no reason.. but how do you get the glove compartment down? Just.. push? heh.

Not sure on pre 98s although I recall seeing a post about it very recently. I just have to kind of push inward on the sides in the middle of the glove box. Then it can pass whatever tabs are keeping it in place.

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!


That is EXACTLY correct. Open the glove box, drop it down a bit, press inward on both sides of the plastic and the box will go past the stops and fall right down. to get it back up, just press in and up at the same time. It is easier than it sounds.
