Re: What is this?

Looks like a light. Maybe a SES light (if you have a later model engine) is there anything running to the back of it?

Re: What is this?

Re: What is this?

That is where you plug in your flux capicator.

If it is a factory flux capicator connector you should see 4z14cp - z14 "Flux Capicator" on your SPID.

Re: What is this?

i'd lay on my back and look up under the dasboard where it is mounted .. if no wires attached to it then it's nothing,if wires attached follow wires and see where they go to findout what it is hooked up to

Re: What is this?

So there shouldn't be anything sticking through the dash at that point, the only thing that should be behind that is possibly your middle speaker.r.

You should look to see if you can buy a repop Mr. Fusion, I bet GMCPauls sells them.
