Can't figure out what this box is

Has a switch on the side of it, located on driver side near maf relay.

(See picture)

Thanks

Not factory, whatever it is.

I'd suspect an alarm.

No numbers anywhere, going to trace the wires a little later, the switch does not do anything obvious...

Might be the valet switch for an aftermarket alarm maybe?

Allow me to introduce you to Sofa's Rule of Wire: (on an equal level with Robert's Rules of Order)

This is actually hierarchical. You kinda start at Step 1 and follow through until you are satisfied. (with the wires that is)
  1. If one end isn't doing anything, the other isn't either.
  2. If neither end is doing anything, then the stuff in the middle isn't either.
  3. If nothing is doing anything....
  4. YANK!!
Any questions? ;)

:cool: I like that , and have a similar one myself ;

#1 , Is it factory installed ? If yes , and it's functioning , LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE !

# 2 , Is it an aftermarket piece , hacked in by who knows who ? RIP IT OUT AND PUT ALL WIRING BACK TO FACTORY !!!

# 3 , Enjoy your now correctly running car .........
