I just stumbled onto a small white box with five wires gong into it. It is located under the spare. Any clue to what it is?

As stated above, it's the Micro Power Module.
I think the MPM is in charge of switching off electrical "consumers" if it detects a problem that could cause the battery to die, etc.
Take a look at the following for more information:
