The piece highlighted in yellow between the fuel filter and brake MC

DID search, but came up empty since i'm not sure what the piece is called.

Looks like a mini capacitor for a car stereo amplifier. You can disconnect it, unless you have an aftermarket audio system in your car.

Its a fuse housing for an amplifier. If you don't have a sub chances are previous owner chopped the power line in the carpet and stuffed it under the carpet somewhere.

Fuse, not a cap. AGU type.


And it is correctly placed as close to the battery as possible, to minimize damage in the event of a short circuit.

Should only be needed if an amplifier is being used. I've removed more of those from used cars than I can count, where the previous owner took the amp and sub out before selling but left the wiring in place.
