Need some more info, were was it in the truck, what color are the wires, and maybe a couple more pictures of the part and were it was.

it was under the hood, in the front left by the coolant resevoir. ummm wires were purple and white or grey they are pretty chewed up. kind of hard to tell.

Hmm, do you have an alarm, tow lights, off road lights, winch, or anything else that was powered and no longer working? Are there any broken or cut wires that you might be able to follow? If it was by all your electrical and power connections it looks like it could be a power junction or electrical splitter of some kind.

 

[tsimmons21]

no its bone stock, could it be some type of voltage regulator?

 

[tsimmons21]

nevermind guys, its for the airbag system, prevents backfeed to air bags. appreciate the help!

Cool, I didn't even know you could get airbags in these things in 89. Glad you got it figured out though.

Do you think you might hook it back up?
