Electrical module ID

My 1994 4.0L Aerostar has a module mounted under the dash just above the center hump cup holder and the engine cover.....anyone know what it controls?

Hi Nighthawk:

The manual is very clear about that box. It's the RABS computer. Normally, when you turn the key on, the RABS light goes on for a few seconds while it goes through self-diagnostic. But if you unplug that box, you'll see that the RABS light doesn't go on at all.
