Default Can anyone tell me what this thing is?
This was behind my drivers side turn signal housing, accessable from the bottom of the car by my cruise control module. I'm removing wires and crap I don't need from the car, and need to know if this qualifies.
Thanks

It most likely was. I removed my evap system years ago, and had it tucked down there. Still don't know what it is yet though lol

NONONO, the flux capacitor is in the left quarter panel on the '98's.

Me thinks that's your headlight brain.

Headlight brain.. Notice how its made by "Guide"?

The Flux Capacitor is hidden down by the windshield washer reservoir so it can get plenty of airflow so it doesn't overheat and meltdown... DUH!

Headlamp motor module. Keep it, unless you don't want your headlight motors to work.

Depends on your definition of necessary I suppose. I'd say toss it. It's crap u don't need. Headlights aren't necessary during dry daylight hours.
