what is this stuff? (and no laughing!)
 

So I sat in my car for a while today and it led me to finally get an answer on what all of this stuff was that my feet had touched when braking.

Those little silver cans are the flashers. one is for the turn signals and the other is for the hazard flashers. Everything looks good with them.

The big square "Fuses" are not fuses but relays for various things in the car. Relays are very reliable and rarely ever the issue with the failing system. Now before everyone starts flaming me about relays... Yes they can fail but most of the time my customers will bring me a relay and say it is bad... I test it with a battery and an ohm meter and find that the relay is good. I sell maybe one relay every 6 months due to a bad one but I test prolly 20 in that same time.

and the brown box is your door chime. the ding ding ding if you open your door with the key in or your lights on. it annoys me so i removed it

Ding ding ding went the trolley, ring ring ring went the bell! Sorry had to do that.

I like the ding ding ding lol

And those blue bands on the flashers are the chemical indicator strips that change to blue when you are running low on blinker fluid. They should normally be white.
