So I am tackling the rats nest wiring behind my electrical panel and found this object which is the size of a hockey puck, about the same weight as well, with 6 wires coming out, two black, two red, one yellow and one brown. It was silicone attached to the wall but not connected to anything. there is continuity between the black and red on each set and for an instant, maybe a split second, continuity between the yellow and brown... not sure what that means? Capacitance?

Anyway,,, even a guess is a start... no marks or writing anywhere...I have no idea what it is or what it is for... can anyone clue me in?

Site wont let me upload an image....?

Cut the blue wire..... no I mean the red wire.....

By the way Imagure is not a good photo hosting site for most forums. Too much tasteless stuff on there. Use photo bucket or flicker, both have free services.
