Help me identify this part....
Recently purchased an 03 FLTR and am now adding a few things to her. I was trying to locate the accessory plug under the seat and when I did I found it was already in use. I traced the wire to the rear between the fender and saddlebag to a bracket with a small black box with no writing or identification on it. As far as I can tell there are only 2 wires running to it, power and ground. When I flip the AUX switch... nothing changes. Here is a pic...any ideas?

OK well based on the responses......I am pulling it. I too replaced my compass as it couldn't decide what direction I was heading and would rotate randomly. I have also replaced it with the oil temp gauge. My only question on that would be why would it have been hooked to the aux power which is only on when the aux switch is on. Additionally there are no wires running from or to it except for power and ground. I don't want to pull something that might have a purpose.

I suppose a bit more information might be helpful. The wire from the Aux connection goes into the large black wrapped wire loom that goes to the rear of the bike so it looks factory or was made to look factory. On the other hand once it reaches the rear the wires are just zip tied to the rear fender struts and are not hidden like the factory would do. So I have no idea but I really love some of the guesses and responses.
