Isn't that the wiper motor? Unplug it and see if your wipers still work, or have a look on the other side of the firewall and see if there's rods going to the wipers?

i had an NA8 nxt to me and his didnt have one..
And i was looking at the spot, its not like the wipers connect directly to it, the wiper arm connectors are on the other side.

Its a simple question
answer and piss off.

I must be like famous i can turn a question like whats this into a "hot topic" (3 pages+) lol
