Question Anyone know what this is????

This thing is located behind the drivers seat under the storage compartment next to the stock amp. It's on an 85 gsl. It's cancered out and i keep popping fuses for the radio and just wondering if this is the cause.

Thanks in advance!!!

Don't ditch it too quick. I did that not knowing what it was and boy do I miss my cruise control. If it still works, try to find a replacement or clean up the casing for that one. Trust me, for the few times you actually use it, it's worth it's weight in gold.

Thanks for the help guys. I've been trying to find online manuals so I don't have to clutter the forum with little questions.
The thing is, I'm in the process of doing a little weight removal. This car isn't meant to be my daily, just my drifter.

if your car is as rusty as you say it is, i wouldnt be drifting in it until you get the structure repaired with new metal. i've seen control arm mounts come off due to rust. loss of control can occur and you could be seriously injured.

Losing control is the entire point of drifting.... (j/k)
