I'm cleaning up my harness and I found a few things I wanted to ask you guys about.

First, there is a bunch of spliced wires like in picture 1 in my harness. Should I solder those or leave them alone?
Second, whats the thing in the second picture? Is it stock or did the PO install it?

No extra the equipment that I can see. Thanks for the wiring diagram. Much easier to work with than the one in my manual. I'll see if I can figure out the splices tomorrow.
