I did a search and found really nothing that is helping so I will ask here. I am moving the battery to the trunk, using 00 gauge wire (overkill I know, but at 1.45 a foot, why not) and I have a powermaster 100 amp alt. Well as I was removing the positive cable and tracing wires I remembered that on my solinoid I have the two #4 positive cables, one to the starter and the other to the battery +. Along with these on the side with the end coming from the battery is a small block like item with some other wires coming off of it and going to ??? What the heck is this? I know that there is a wire from the ignition to ignite the solinoid but what the heck are the other wires for and that block like device?
I appreciate any help on this.

Thats the power window/lock circuit breaker. I can't remember exactly if it is for locks and windows both, or just one of the two. The other wires lead to 12v circuits as well. You'd be best to leave them attached if you can.

Thank you SSCobra for the info I really appreciate it. Well it appears that I will be leaving that attached, maybe I will look at a distribution block of sum sort to attach the other wires to.
