What the heck is this thing?

This I found inside the drivers door. I cant seem to find it in any parts diagrams. Any idea what it is? Could it be the 'stealth mode' box??

Maybe it's the thing that adds the extra 30hp in Power Mode.

Here it is disconnected.

I jumped the terminals, and i can tell that it has nothing to do with the power windows, locks, or any sort of lighting through elimintaion testing.

I think that's the secretly hidden "Where did my girlfriend go with my car?" transponder.

Actually, after seeing what is apparently growing around it, I'm wondering if you really want to be handling it with your bare hands. heheheheh

I'd watch a couple of movies about bombs before you cut any of the wires..."Let's see should you cut the red wire, or...."

A total WAG: it's a connector for the JDM power mirrors.

Nope. The power folders are wired through 2 unused pins in the Mirror connector.

What year is it from?

OK, then how about the connector for the auto-seatbelts that were no longer used by the 95 model year?

Edit: That's a dumb guess the seatbelt mechanism isn't in the door - can't figure out how to delete the dumb things I say - stupid fingers type faster than my brain thinks

I thought they lead to the lights at the door. Looks like it though.

It has the shape of a speaker connection.

Maybe it's it's the hidden microphone in the Subaru 'Secert Shopper" car.

Installed to get first hand comments back to Subaru.

Hi Mike, How about a crossover between the OEM door speaker and the in dash tweeter. Take care, BOBB

No, Lee, it's the chime connector that uses the speaker to make the noise.

Glad I could help.

Ron.

It's a subaru connector. the connector has japanese charecters on it that match up with another connector in the door. It's very OE.

I think that's just the noise reducing foam they wrap around every connector in the door. As for what that connector does, perhaps they originally planned to have a power lock switch in the door?
