Saw this and I think its for the automatic or something not needed. Anyone can identify?

I've been told you need to leave that and remove the auto ecu which is in same location when going to 5 speed. If installing the pedal I just removed the black box and then installed it again once pedal was in.

So, ah, whats it um... do. I put an LS into the car with it's own computer etc... so I was thinking of removing it without looking in the FSM at what it does. Which is often a mistake.

but im so lazy and it weighs like 7 ounces , so...

thanks guys :D

Going off memory,
There are two types. Base models have a black plastic unit and the SE has a silver metal unit. They control power locks, theft system, defogger warning chimes. They don’t affect engine control except maybe the rear defogger.

sigh, I guess I had better keep it for the door locks. that sounds important. Oh well heres to having 1/84172 less of a horsepower due to the weight of that thing ;D

hey maybe I should relocate it to the back! (not srs) though Im on a relocating spree these days
