Thread: What could this be?

Yes, would be99% sure it is a "Rust protection" device. And am sure by the same % it is only a battery drainer! Ditch it ( Although a fella out Isasford way had 1 on his cruiser for 10 years and no rust!!! )

3 wires come out of it, Red to battery & 2 blacks, one to battery earth & one to an earth on the body. It has a slow flashing green light. The only thing I can think of is a rust protection device. Anybody got one on thier Landie?? Its definately an add on.

Found the same in my SVX. Reckon "patent" anti corrosion thingy, like a Hiclone or a Brock Pyramid

Current draw is negligible, cost me nothing works or doesn't work???? Will see over time.

As others have said, "electronic rust protection". Bin it.

Had one of those on our Hyundai Santa Fe for 10 years. If it worked I dont know but NO rust in the Santa Fe & we get lots of salt air here

Its a tool for extracting money from Nieve people, its already done its job, you will struggle to get it to serve the same purpose

Soooo, people with them are saying no rust and it's factory fitted.
