Hey guys I just got back from a deployment and I am in the process of putting the car back together. I know this box goes somewhere on/in the dash but I just can't remember where in the hell this goes or whats it for!

 

I'm not sure EXACTLY where it goes or what it does, but usually you can tell the general location of electrical with how the wires bend. After years of being in the same location, the wire will tend to bend a certain way. I would recommend trying to use that bend to your advantage to find where it should go. And from the looks of things, it snaps into something (but your clip appears to be broke).

If you are already aware of this, then I apologize...just trying to offer some advice.

 

I thought of that too. The problem is that it was hanging for about 6 months. In that time it became straight. So i screwed myself on this one.

 

mmmmm....good ole deployment....Hope you got to go somewhere fun.

Hopefully someone else is aware of this part and can be of more help than me...If not one helps you out, you could always stop by your local bone yard and look for the part inside of other cars (to see where/how it attaches). Just a thought.

Good luck!

 

I might have to do that if no body can help me! Thanx

 

i think that goes near or behind the hood releas

 

Where around is it located?? Near the radio area?

Unplug it and see what happens!! Then you'll know what its for

 

It does go in the radio area. I had to take the dash out for some maintenance. I was wondering if it went to switch the vents since I have the push button controls!

 

i THINK it might be the dimmer control

 

If you haven't figured it out here in about an hour, I'll be home and can try and figure out where your mystery part goes. My HB has the radio out of it, so I should be able to feel around in there and see where it should go! I might even be able to snag a pic or two...

 

there was a thread on this along time ago for that exact same thing but i dont remember what it was for. it could be for the dimmer switch. that rang a bell in my head. like some one said unplug it and see what doesnt work. im sure it will be find if you tie it up somewhere.

 

Hey...I looked out in mine through the hole where the radio goes, and I could not spot that box. Sorry...

 

my clip broke too, i just shoved mine up in the dash.

 

im calling dimmer resistor box, i know it is located along the center frame support for the center console by the heater box.

 

i say zip tie that thing up and out of the way!

 

i got the radio and heater box and everything out of my car. ill look around tomorrow morning for ya and see if i cant figure it out.

 

That looks like a horn relay to me.

Then again, I once thought I saw a rhino while deer hunting in Ohio.

Take it with a grain of salt bro.

 

are you just wanting to place it where it goes? just ziptie that **** under the dash somewhere. done.

 

u sure its not the door open buzzer

its the relay for the dash lights and the white clip clips to a bracket that bolts to the mounting bolts for the steering coloum


i had the same problem and it took forever for me to figure it out

 

Thanks alot guys!! I was getting worried that I missed something really major and I would have to take out the dash again!!!
Once again H-T saved my a$$!!

Also controls the windshield wipers.

Just zip tie it to the steering brace.
