Hi Gang,

Can someone help me identify what the black box in the upper right of this picture is please? It has a red light that flashes even when my battery switch is off.

And if possible where does it get power from???? Yes I know the battery, I just can't locate it in my wiring schematic from the service manual.

Thanks in advance!

I could be WAY off here but that looks identical to a tracking device. Even down to the blinking light.:cool:

LOL, you may need to replace your tinfoil hat, it's leaking. :p :p

To the original poster.
It's the Active Corrosion Control system, similar to the Mercruiser Mercathode system.

This is what my Volvo Manual says about the box.
