Default Whats this for?????

I've been taking out all the unwanted wires in the car and was wondering what this is? Can I get rid of it?

I'm not sure. I pulled the dash and dropped my car off weeks ago to get a cage done and now that it is back I don't remember where it came from. If it is for the airbags can I get rid of it since i'm not using them anymore?

pretty sure it has something to do with your daytime running lights/automatic lights. It mounts right behind the head unit.

So if i'm reading that correctly. I will have no running lights and will have to use my key to open the hatch from now on once I remove it.

When it says that that it will disable front turn signal lights. Does that mean it won't I will no longer have front turn signals or just running lights?

Do yourself a favor and by a factory service manual. It shows all the wiring, harnesses, and component locations though out the entire car. It will make your job so much easier.
