WTF is this ?

[Legacy Accord]

as some of you know i'm into audio/ wireing and i was just trying to trace a wire when i come upon this little box (see pic below) it was rusted and the wiers were put together with non OEM electrical tape which made me start to wonder.

After pulling off all the electrical tape i found ou that there was yellow, Blue, Red,Orange, black i traced the wiers to their source

Yellow- From harness loped into box
Blue- cut about 6" from the box
Red- batt
Orange- head light
Black- ground

looking at how this was connected it didnt look like a OEM install so now im wondering what can this little box be ??????

that shit looks like a car alarm to me

that's the black box. like in an airplane, it records everything before an accident. seriously, don't know wtf it is. could be some sensor to an alarm or part of an old stereo system. just rip it out and take out any wiring with it if you are bored.

the silver thing that looks like a miniature amp is an injector resistor. no idea what that other thing is.

remote foglight relay or old remote starter relay.

I dont mean the silver box i mean the little rusted black one

It could contain a fuse for a stereo unit, be a remote start part, or even a part to a car alarm. See if there's any writing or anything printed on it, that'd probably a good place to start.

the red wire comming from the batt is fused with a inline glass fuse

No sh*t, those actually do exist. But only in newer model cars. They claim they've been putting them in since the 80's, but hopefully our cars don't have one. I understand the concept of having one in a car, but frankly I feel it's an invasion of privacy. My car belongs to me not the f*cking government.

I've seen those! Some of the new GMs have them. Pretty crazy, it records how hard you mash the brake & gas pedal, measures acceleration, braking deceleration, top speed, etc. I read some story about a guy in a firebird or trans am or something who caused a major accident. Insane.

aftermarket cruse control?
