What is this?
Quick question-what is the small box with a yellow wiring harness mounted on the floor underneath the stock stereo on my 97 t100? I assume it is abs or air bag related if so is there anything else affected if I remove it(besides abs and air bag)
-Thanks for any replies

I am not 100% sure but some tings being universal in the auto industry like red positive black negative I know in the GM's I worked on every harness with solid yellow wires or enclosed in yellow tubing was ABS related.

It for your airbags. I just finished the first part of vehicle rescue class. Yellow is the universal color for airbags in the auto world.I would'nt mess with it since that box is the brain for the airbags.That box has 2 capacitors that stores the charge for the bags and the Deceleration Sensor.You dont want to be around an air bag when it goes off unless you are seat belted in the car.

thanks for the replies/welcoming! I am not running abs, air bags or the sensors any longer that is why I want to get rid of it. Does anyone know if it will mess with anything else computer/wiring related(I know, I might as well unplug it and see for myself).Thanks

1. I hope you don't have any passengers in your car, i.e. wife/kids/family/friends.
2. You are exposing yourself (and your family if under 18/living at home) to HUGE LIABILITY, from your own passengers (unless you disclose and have them sign a waiver of liability, which then could even be disputed), and from anyone else you get in an accident with, irregardless of who is at fault.
3. Your insurance could and most likely would revoke coverage for any claims of injury and damage since you removed your vehicles safety devices.
Is it even legal to remove these devices?
