On the far right side under the glove box there is only one box on that bracket. Maybe I should get a photo.

Ok, removed the the carpet on the drivers side of the console. There is an odd looking coiled white wire in a deteriorated sheath that goes out the side of the tunnel near the tranny. I saw it while underneath also and it doesn't go to anything. Small gauge white wire, very strange looking.

The cruise control amplifier is located under the driver's side dashboard. Just left of the brake pedal. The warning box is like 2-3 inches to the right of it.

Thats the evaporator drain tube. If its deteriorating, you should consider replacing it. Water flows down through there and if you find a puddle on your floor in the car, you'll know why. I'm not sure why they used that type of hose. Weird stuff.

My Error

Ok, sure enough I had unplugged the stuff under the glove box! So, I unplugged the two units left of the brake pedal. That would be the correct cruise control amplifier and the warning box. Put in another fuse, drove it up to 25-30mph and the fuse blew.

I think this is the one you just mentioned

Maybe this is something. Under the carpet that is on the drivers side of the console the are two different plug in type connectors 8pin think. One of them closer to the seat and pretty low on the tunnel. The second one is right under the air duct and right up against that wierd evaporator drain hose (very weird stuff). I unplugged this thing and there was this brown gooey substance that had puddle to the low end. It's all around the bottom 2 pins and feels like it's also inside the female side of the connector. Is it possible to removed the female side from it's bracket so I could clean all that out. Since it's tied right to that weird hose I wondering if it has gotten wet??
