Those are the relays. The big one is the FI main power relay.

Don't give up. You CAN do this. Set the DVM on DC volts and go 
looking for voltage: one probe on a ground and the other probe 
touching things which might have DC Volts on it. You'll find that 
most things don't have any voltage on them until you turn the key on, 
but you can always go for the battery.

Hint: any metal part of the car's body is grounded, but you won't be 
able to make good contact with it unless it's bare or plated. Paint 
and rust are good insulators.
