Default Took out interior today, need help with identification??

I am gutting the interior of my '77, good lord, it was ratty. I have only had the car for about 2 weeks, and have never attempted such a project. I need some help identifying two things??
I found them behind the radio, one of them has an in-line fuse attached to it...the black thing looks like a motor of some kind...HELP!!

The first one I believe is the courtesy light delay. I am not sure about the other.

the second one looks like a relay with the cover missing.

The courtesy light delay is cylindrical and looks like a flasher. It is taped to the main harness in between the speedometer and tachometer right under the dashpad.

Nothing like that on my 71' or 78'. The ones with the white/clear connectors don't look like GM connectors. Can you trace the wires backward to see what's on the other end?

Here are some additional pics. Now that I take a closer look at it, could it be for the power antenna...the white, green, brown wires look similar to the antenna wires.

Just a thought here, does your car have a rear window defroster?
