I removed a part from behind the dash. It was disconnected and located behind the instrument cluster. Does anyone know what it is?

It's the anti self destruct bracket. If it isn't hooked up correctly every part of the bronco will self destruct. You have to post a picture of the bracket to know what model it is. There were many changes depending on which line worker was installing them.

ARRRgh, that was the sacrificial anode that kept these damn things from rusting.
Most of them were disconnected it seems, which explains the rust. Ford cheaped out on the connector.

Sorry bro everyone’s got cabin fever, I have had two Broncos and have never seen that part.
What is it. Is it for emissions

I have more questions than answers.
It's just that we love pictures. We are a very visual group.

BTW, have you seen the ladies modeling Broncos thread..... It was surprising to me that some of the pictures have Broncos in them???
