Anyone know what this is or what it does? Because it just fell off and dont know what to do. Its on the back side of the driver side headlight and 2 wires are taped into the wire harness for the headlights

looks to me like a resistor for led bulbs to keep em from blinkin fast. do you have leds for turn signals?

CASol

nope, this is all OEM
Driver side only

yellowltcoupe22

hmm.. that wasnt on my stockers.. guess someone else would have to give it a shot then.. sorry man

CASol

It is a government tracking device. Hurry up and wrap it in tinfoil.

I would go to the dealer you bought it from and ask them.

Did you buy the car new?

That looks totally strange... that box is wired into your stock blinker wires... dunno why. Maybe that's where you add the blinker fluid

I say you crack open that box and see what's inside of it and post a pic

im going with a resistor also but it looks "non" factory to me... i just got some hella headlights so ill see if mine has those tomorrow & post

Thats what I thought

Brand new off of the truck

But if i open it, the fluid will leak out

Thanks for the feed back and let me know



I thought it looked strange and it just fell off when i went to reinstall the lights. The lights work normal with out it

those are t tap connections that it uses so no its not factory

Do you have a kill switch and is it your left turn signal?

CASol

One wire was to the turn signal and no i dont have a kill switch, just the factory alarm

CASol

I think it has to do something with the temp reading, it didnt go above 60 today until the temp droped below 65 then it reads normal. Im really confused now

yellowltcoupe22

did you try unpluggin it completely and seeing if it made any difference? i still think its some kinda resistor cuz it doesnt look factory with the way its just spliced in.

I looks like a part to aftermarket fog lights, so they go on with the parking lights maybe. If someone had the car before you they probably just left this in.

Mnatvyc1223

yup, it is using splices so it's probably not factory. and u said ur lights work fine without it... do they blink any faster without it? if not then it's not any sort of resistor... just take it off and leave it off... and if it doesnt affect anything then crack it open and post a pic.

CASol

ok guys, read what I have posted already, your asking answered questions.

but thanks for the responces

smartdude24

I honestly can't see it having to do with temp reading... I mean it's a secluded box attached to the wires that cause your turn signal bulb to blink... so it should only get intermittent power when the driver signal is on...

redSSBalt

It's definetly aftermarket. The Manufacture doesn't use T-taps for any connections. It's connected to the turn signal and ground on that headlight. If your lights work fine, and the turn signal blinks normal. You could remove it without any problems.


Exactly!! Since whoever installed it used the turn signal wire for power. It will only get power when the signal blinks!!

dont go below 55mph or it will blow up.

omg EPIC post

If I worked for GM, I would stick random boxes that do nothing onto peoples cars all the time, this way they would start posts about it wondering what they are.
You should open the box, there might be a little note that says something along the lines of... Fooled you. Lol.

CASol

LOL that would be funny and fun to do

MikeyMo84

figure out what it is yet?
