What Is This?

A buddy of mine just bought a Interstate and found this under the seat, but not connected to anything.

Thanks-

It's a continuum trans-functioner!

I have no idea. Does it say anything on it?

Scooby, it looks like 3 wires and a connector.

I just had to do it to ya Bro.

I told him basically the same thing RJ..............3 wires, 3 connectors, and a red thing..........he said I wasn't much help!

It appears to be one of those vibrators or buzzers(Blinker Buddy?) attached to the turn signals as a reminder to shut them off. They're often mounted under or in the seat so you can feel them on your butt. Just attach one of the red wires to 12v and ground the single black one, I'll bet it will either buzz or vibrate. What you do with it after that....your call!

Looks like the old style flux capacitor. I had one on a Delorean.

Noise Filter.

It's an electronic  trasfuserable measuring device to keep tract of your blinker fluid.

Noise Filter.

Yep, that's my guess also.  Bet the PO had an amp hooked up at one time.

The two red wires are a dead give away! I mean duh!

Traction control? I've heard they can be really small, all they do is is measure rpm climb and then cut timing. Small and easy to hide that's why iginition systems on stock cars are on top of the dash so they're easy to spot.

But I doubt it.
