what are these?
i've been trying to find the cause of my electrical short that keeps killing my stop light fuses. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1414544
just curious what the black box is next to the fuse panel in the first pic and also what the white relay shaped thing is. (if it is a relay, what circuit is it on? it only has 3 terminals - i've only ever seen 4 and 5 post relays)
Thanks!

Well, the black thing is the buzzer for all your buzzing needs. Seatbelts,ignition key. Not sure what the white thing is for, tho.
edit. OK, this is a guess. Is there a tan and red wire to the white thing? Headlight warning buzzer.

Since each year of Corvettes are just a little bit different it would be nice to include the year of your car in the post just to be a bit more clear and get better advise. I have a '71 and don't have either of those boxes that I know of.......at least not in that location.
