Black box under drivers seat

My box under my drivers seat is shorting out and clicking until my batter dies... what is it for and will my car run without it? I have manual seats so i don't understand why it's there?

I've wondered about the black box too. I figure it's for the seat belt alarm and automatic shoulder harness.

That's kinda what i figured, but there sure is alot of wires and two plugs so I wasn't really sure. Do you know if the car will start with them unplugged?

I don't think it would affect starting. Try it and see. If you disconnect the box please rememberr to wear your seatbelt :nono:

Found out, the car will run without it... problem ended up being a battery with a dead cell, autozone exchanged it and the problem's gone.
I always wear my seat belt, but thanks for the concern and the help.
