I'm pretty sure that thing in the picture is what sits near my PCM in my '97 SS. But I honestly don't know what it is.

Yes inside the car, middle of the firewall from side to side and mounted towards the top and the wires run into the upper wiring harness that goes from door to door. I'm starting to believe its for the window motors. It has a relay and little circuit board inside it.

Thats what we were leaning too, the picture makes it hard to soo the wire is not purple, its lighter blue. We already experienced cutting some purple wires and working around the VATS system. fun fun when it just cranks no start.
