Does anyone know what the small (1 1/2" long) ceramic piece is that is mounted behind the right hand shock tower on my '99 ZX2? It has 2 wires leading into it, but I have no clue as to what it is. It been bothering me for a while, not knowing what it is. : :?
Top left corner in the photo. Behind the shock tower.
not sure what or where it is. Can you take a picture? that might be a little more helpful.
Yeah take a pic.
Woa, I don’t think I have that on my Z.
Can’t tell from that picture.
If you are refiring to that blue thing in the upper left hand corner of the pic then we will need a better pic. however, what state are you in, do they have emission laws? also did your car come with a factory security chip alarm?
I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada. Bought the car in Ontario, though. I do have the remote keyless entry/alarm, is that a possibility?
I would take a better picture.
Took this photo today… Hope it helps
Do you have ABS?
OOooooooooo…Never thought about that. I know it’s not in my engine bay and I know I don’t have ABS…
if i remember right i think it has something to do with day time running lamps…i think its required in canada and why we don’t have them here. i remember someone on zx2-riders had that on his car as well and we had a difficult time figuring out what it was
I don’t have ABS, But I do have daytime running lights. I never thought of that. Could be related to them, but how…? It’ s ceramic.
I would say, turn on your car open the hood (your lights should be on already) then unplug the harness… the lights will then shut off… proven. 
I’m in Canada, I’ll check tomorrow if I have one too, cause I have DRL’s also.
Although on first glance, I don’t remember ever seeing something there.
After a bit of research I have found out that the itemin question isa resister. As nodnarb85 staited this is for the DRL’s so he wins a cupy-doll and a kick in the nuts. ZZZX2 if you don’t have that block there and you do have DRL’s then your’s were added at the dealership.
I’ve always wanted a cupy-doll and you’re throwing in a kick in the nuts, man this is the greatest day ever
lol 
Hey… I’d like a kick in the nuts too 
Thanks, Guys. Now I know. Ironically, I’ve disabled my DRLs, so when I unplugged the resister, it did nothing. Never thought of putting the fuse back in. 
Hey pauly, I do have it on my car too!!!
