Default What is this?



P.O. had this pushed up under the dash and it fell out. I tried to put it back and it let out a spark. Two of the wires are cut on it. Everything works in the jeep except that the light switch has been removed and been converted over to a toggle switch(I plan on switching it back as soon as I can). Is this part of the lights and they had to do this to get that to work or is it for something else?

Thanks

Looks like it could be a trailer brake system, but I'm not sure about that!! HTH!!

pull the lower dash and see where it goes then disconnect it and throw it away.

I thought that it may have somthing to do with the keyless remote that may have originaly came on the jeep. I don't have a remote for the locks so I dont know if it had one or not.
