I'm not too familiar with the electricals on the later models. The general area you describe is where the turn signal flasher is located I think.
See if you get some more feedback. In the meantime have a look at this: http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/tune...l/index6.shtml It may be something you would want to save in your bookmarks for further reference.
Wish I could be more help.

That was part of the alarm switch in the door. Have no idea why you found it by the glovebox.

Did it look like this (the white thingy on the right)? If so, it's the alarm switch on the left door lock.
