So i've had this car for a while now, and i like it, but I'd like it even more if everything was perfect, and I just noticed I have some fuses missing from my box and also some parts i can't even name. So here are some pretty pictures, get to work.

(there's also this thing right in front of the pass seat, it's threaded like something should go into it, but I dont know what....)

So name those parts!

random harness should really not be just chilling here....color of wires of said harnessrelated?? broken yellow might be a hint to the first picture, as that item has a crack on the other side of it

what i already know - the harness goes into the yellow thing, but what is it the yellow thing sits by the last picture

the plastic cover....still dont know what it is/where it goes.

Round 2 (last one still not answered btw)

the wiring in my car was kinda messed with for the sake of the sound system....I wish it was still stock and that I installed it (previous owners).

here is a wierd part under the rear seats I need identified



and the wire coming out of the phone jack/ethernet port type spot leads to here and is cut.....wtf where did it go to and what did it do?!

I ran into a similar looking thing in the trunk of my S13 coupe, but it was mounted to under the rear deck. After running the ID numbers it came up as a module of some sort relating to car phones, so at one time you may have had a car phone in the car, and when it was removed, like mine, they left all the wiring and simply cut the phone out. I removed mine and have not lost any functions of my car so I assume it will go the same for you.

In case you haven't already begun the removal of the Motorola box, I just removed everything from my coupe that was coming from it without any problems. I had wires run under the carpet and stuff as well, so I just made sure I didn't do anything too fast so that it would cause damage to anything else wired in the car. I did have something connected to the antenna, which I had to unhook, but the rest was all cut ends.

No clue, bro....I hate electric. I would bet on something close to the light, check the fsm for the light diagram. It will give all the ground related to it.
