That's part of the heater matrix.
I'm not entirely familiar with the internals but I think that is what is called the evapourator assembly. Inside the plastic box is a radiator type matrix. I'd imagine it is enclosed in plastic so that condensation is not allowed to drip into the car. If you look at the codes and writing on it you will see the word "Zexel". Zexel is the name of the company that makes the air conditioning unit for the SVX. Joe

As Rinus says. You don't need the sunload sensor if the aircon is not working, but I'm presuming you have retained the aircon controller in the dash. So keeping this little lad in place will keep the computer happy.

On the right hand side of the dashboard near the screen is the sunload sensor for the air conditioning. As all SVXs had aircon, then all cars will have this. On cars fitted with auto headlights, on the left hand side of the dashboard, same place, near the screen, is another photo sensor. This is to control the lights. The two UK cars I have wear a blank plastic plug in the hole at this location. Joe [The positions may be reversed for left hand drive cars, I don't know. Rinus, which side is the sunload sensor on your car??]

The thing behind the glovebox looks like the evaporator core for the AC.. If the air from vents smells like feet that's where the smell come from. Years of mold, dust, are probably in there and that's not a good thing to inhale... I removed the blower fan that sits next to it, cleaned it out, and for the evaporator I remove the sensor and spray the cleaner from that hole. You'll see "brown" liquid coming out from the drain pipe.....that's so nasty! If you do the cleaning, don't forget to place some tray or something to catch that liquid..
The thing on the dashboard...I'm not sure. Temp sensor?

I always wondered where it went. Now I'm wondering how much that thing weighs.

On RHD cars the sunload sensor is on the right side of the dash. Makes sense when you think about it, mirror image for the wiring. Joe
