Hi,

I have VW polo 6r 2009 (59 plate) - SEL 85 Semi-Auto. There is like an electric shorting kind of noise coming from under the windshield cowl. It is coming from this box, which is located next to the wiper motor. When I unplug the battery, the noise stopped. Can you please tell me what it is and what it is for? Picture of it attached. Can I disconnect it?
