Clear plastic box w/gears under the dash

JaysXJ · Nov 8, 2004

There is a small clear plastic box under the dash right below the ciggy lighter with small white gears in it. What is this? Is it for Emissions? Just curious...

What year XJ?

Emissions timer. I pulled the fuse that controls mine.

So what happens if you just yank the sucker out? Nothing? No CEL?
I found the emissions timer box a few days ago and yanked it... just wondering myself

Actually, mine came without a fuse, the factory sent me one attached to a recall notice, with instruction on where to stick it....I tossed it. No lights, no nothing, ever.

is that the thing that turns on the CE light at certain mileage so that people come running to the dealer to find out whats wrong with their XJ with 30,000 miles on it?

Not exactly. It turns on the "Maintenance Required" light ... at about 80,000 miles.

gotcha... sorry to steal, but anyone know what years this came in?

My brother has a 88' MJ 4-banger with 4-speed manual (AX-4) with one in it.

Shows up in the 88 XJ also

My '91 has it also

So from what I understand it can be yanked or the fuse can be pulled! That means it is not needed or nessasary?

just wondering that orange light is nerv racking...

The answer is yes it can be pulled. It probably isn't exactly legal due to emissions laws.
