What is it? Please help!

Post by n2ho »

I found this module hanging on wires, not secured to anything but having a metal bracket, under the dash from the right side of the steering wheel. Looks like some relay or similar. The car is 2007, runs OK, no problems so far. Noticed this by incident, wanted to install a switch to disable DRL. George

Maybe it's a buzzer, it has a hole on the side in the plastic case. Two wires connected to it, yellow and black.

I didn't see any suitable place, but from underneath is not visible and very uncomfortable to work. I suspect that it's a buzzer module and should be somewhere at the top under dash. I don't want to go to the dealer (car is under warranty though) thinking that because of this stupid thing they will dismantle whole dashboard. The hell with it.

I believe I found the answer - it's VSC (vehicle stability control) warning buzzer! I have this system on my Vibe. So far I couldn't find the proper location of it, where it should be bolted under the dash (sooo inconvenient to work there!).
