Hi all.
Just wondering if anyone knows exactly what the blue box behind/underneath the dash does? Reason i ask is that it came with a loom that had been sitting around in all sorts of weather & therefore is unlikely to work as it had been submerged at some stage so i was thinking if its only there to run the heater/aircon properly then i can just throw it out cause thats about the only thing i can relate it to & i don't run aircon.
Here are photos of it cleaned up.
& before i cleaned it up so i could read the letters.

Looks like part of the air con or glass demister system to me.

Re: Blue Box - What does it do
Right. I went to the wreckers during the week to find another blue box, the wreckers only had a couple N/A Citys, one is a City-E (which don't use one) & the other was a Honda City-R which is auto but a JDM model so tried my luck with that which i found it had a box under the dash so i whipped it out to find it was a GREY box but i took it anyway as i thought it may just be the build year that justified the colour difference but i was wrong as the photos point out.
As you can clearly see there is a mojor difference so don't use the grey box if anyone was planning to. My thoughts are these boxes are only for Citys that use A/C as the NZ new City-E's don't have a blue or grey box & they do not have a A/C unit so i think i will leave the blue box unplugged & test if there are any faults with the car without it.
