Found it duct taped in the passenger rear panel next to the jack... It had a wire run under the carpet into the harness that connected it to the little light behind the rear shock on the driver side.

haha! Yea I have no clue. I can tell it has some sort of battery power. It also has an antennae... That black cord hooks into the battery part and runs into a little styrofoam block. I think it's and antennae... I ripped the stupid thing out and the car still runs. haha geuss I don't need it, just wish I knew what it is. The only thing I can think of is maybe a back up battery or battery booster for the trunk light? *shrug*

Did you buy the car new or used? Maybe someone was after the first owner...

I am the third owner. But the guy I bought it from was telling me how he thought the dealership was stupid because they told him he needed new pulleys... "What pulleys are doing in a car motor is beyond me!" His exact words. So I wouldn't even consider he put this thing in there. Must have been the original owner.

I unplugged everything I could and gently set it in the other room...
Been trying to reach the owner, he won't pick up or return my calls. haha, I've heard about "buying others people's problems" when buying a used car... I just never thought these "problems" would be the Feds comming after me.
