Look under the dash and search for a loose 4 wire connector with colors black, green, gray, and pink/black.
If you find one and it snaps into it, that thing is the "Low Coolant Module". Which is located in the area you described this came from. That part number brings up nothing.
With the low coolant module unplugged, your low coolant light will never come on even if everything else is in tact, and there really is low coolant in the radiator or it's empty. That's one way you'll know. It looks very similar to the low coolant module on my car. Even that tan spade plug under it looks the same. Only mine was not black, it was transparent.

Yes looks like the pn is way discontinued unless someone has the original parts book from 86, I was thinking it may be the headlight /ignition warning chime, I have an extra vats relay and it's not that. Now I'm curious, I know I seen it when I was working under my dash.

OK - may be something odd here! The original post/picture in this thread clearly showed a module/relay(?) of #14073971. Now, my 86/87 GM parts book shows two different #'s for the 'Low Coolant Indicator Module' - #22533547(for 87), and #14078971(for the 86)! Could there be some sort of error/misprint on the 86 Module # listed for the 86?! Just a thought? Cheers.

I checked the wiring out and, yes, the 4 wire connector has black, green, gray, and pink/black wires. I think that we have finally identified this rascal. Thanks to all and to 86Pacer for the final ID.
