Anyone know what this is? It was in my car when I bought it. It's screwed down. I think it is a heater, but I can't get it to turn on. It is wired into my car, I don't know how though, I don't much much about that stuff. It's on the passenger side right under the glove box.

QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Oct 6, 2009 - 3:55 PM)  Looks like it might be it...it does have a fan and coils that look like they could be heated.  Yeah, my thoughts exactly, but how do I turn it on? QUOTE (enderswift @ Oct 6, 2009 - 4:22 PM) does your heat work? Yeah QUOTE (azian_advanced @ Oct 6, 2009 - 4:34 PM) it's definitely a heater. i bought one for my car for those long cold winter months.. Does it turn on when you turn on your car heat, or do you have to turn it on manually somehow? btw, it's a heater but it's not meant to heat the entire cabin. it's only meant to keep the windows from frosting up. It doesn't turn on when I turn on the heat, I can't figure out how to turn it on at all... QUOTE (808celica @ Oct 6, 2009 - 6:30 PM) its a gen8 flux capacitor  Glad i dont need anything like that  Haha how are you so sure that you don't? QUOTE (schmooot @ Oct 6, 2009 - 8:26 PM) It is a heater...that is a stupid place to mount it though. Maybe it was to warm the hands on the shifter? Yeah, it is pretty stupid, I can't even open the glove box all the way because the heater is in the way... QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Oct 6, 2009 - 8:46 PM) And I just noticed, I'm glad I'm not the only one that applies the handbrake even though the car is in park. Haha that's the way they taught me in driving school and it's just been a habit since then. So what do you guys think, should I remove it? I don't like how it looks, and I can't get it to turn on, but if I do figure out how, I guess it could come in handy. Our Canadian winters are damn cold, like -30°C (or -22°F).
