Found this from my maxima.
1995 3.0, what is that box ?
Fuse was blown.

 

The only reference I see to this ACU142 box are by European vehicles and parts sellers.

Can you tell us more about the cars origin and manufacture location?

Here's a link on how to read the VIN

That is something I have not seen before. Nissan uses things called ACU meaning Airbag Control Unit, but that began something like 2010. Knowing the VIN might help to shed some light on this.

 

I did find this part from a 1996 Maxima
