    I found this thing underneath my steering wheel. Can anybody tell me what it is? I found wiring for an amp behind the backseat so maybe it has something to do with that? When I click the red button it counts up to a number that you can adjust with the "+ and -" buttons.

    ...too much shit to list.
    It's a brake controller.
    Controls the electronic brake signal that get's sent through the 7pin for trailer brakes.

    That is an adjustable trailer brake controller for towing a trailer. Look for a model # on it and Google it for more info. If you never tow a trailer you can just remove it.

    If it goes to 11, it's the Spinal Tap brake controller. Very sought after.

    This is slightly less enviable than the guy who bought a used truck with Icons at all four corners and asking if the shocks are good.
