What's In The Box
#1

Hi all, In the process of going through my new to me '88 Turbo Coupe I found a black box on a bracket with 2 plug connections side by side on it. The connections in the box looks like a computer card (flat). I found that it goes under the pedals/dash but not sure what it is for. I would like to make sure before I connect it. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds to me like a ghetto aftermarket burglar deterrent that's intended to disable the starter circuit until a "key" (flat circuit-plug) is inserted.

It turned out to be the Cruise Control module.
