Can someone tell me what is in the black plastic sealed box under the front hood, below where the CD Changer would go? Thanks!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It is tire sealant for a flat tire since there is no spare. If you do a quick search, you will find several threads referring to it.
POST 3Original post
I don't think that it's. The tire sealant is way below the CD changer in a different compartment. There is a sealed black plastic box in with my CD changer but I don't know what it does.

Is it ticking.....
POST 5Original post
O sorry. Now I know what is being referred too. Yea, I don't know what that is either. Edit: http://www.planet-9.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=99&cat=5 Ken mentions that it is a charcoal canister in this article, assuming that is the same thing the OP is talking about. I found online that charcoal canisters are used to trap the fuel vapors from the gas tank until the engine is started and then the vacuum of the engine pulls the vapors into the engine.

That is the carbon canister. It's part of the emission control system that absorbs fuel vapors to prevent them from being vented to the atmosphere. I'm not sure if these are on all cars, or US only. Here's the page from the parts catalog that shows it.
POST 7Original post
I was wondering what that was myself. I noticed it a month or so ago but forgot to ask about it. I don't think I've ever noticed it ticking though.
