Default First Vette! First Question

Hi All, Just took delivery of my first Vette. It's a 2000 Red Convertible, automatic with 47,000 miles. I have put around 200 miles on it, and I'm already hooked. What a great machine! I have already run across some issues that need to be taken care of, but they all seem to be typical problems, ie rocking seat, power antenna, and flasher bypass. Now for the first of what I am sure is going to be many questions. What is the module under the driver side cover in the rear? I was just cleaning up the trunk area and found this. Both plugs are unplugged. Should they be plugged in? Thanks in advance. I look forward to learning everything I can about my new Vette from everyone here.

Congrats

The modular in the driver's rear compartment is for the ride control shocks. Your car probably has after market shocks, (which are better imo)
