    Default What is this?

    Hi!
    Just bought a 2013 Mazda 3 Sport GS Skyactiv hatchback, and noticed a couple of things I am unsure of.
    A) What is this? (Small box to the left of the rain sensor) https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vpfjx527x...80657.jpg?dl=0
    B) Noticed that the green headlight indicator symbol in the dash randomly flashes on and off and I hear a clicking sound below the dash. Headlights are turned off, (Not Auto mode) and it bright sunlight out.

    Thanks
    Paul

    Are your daytime running lights working properly?

    Yes. Thanks for the link though.

    Re: Part A) It looks like it is some sort of antenna?

    FWIW...Looks like the car had a remote starter/alarm installed, and that small box beside the rain sensor is it's antenna. I'm pretty sure it is also wired into the lighting system, so when activated it flashes the lights. I think there is a loose wire or connector that is causing the issue.
