It's the chime unit. (aka, "blue dingey thingie")
Dings when you leave your keys in the switch with the door open, leave the headlights on with the engine off, or the parking brake on with the motor running.

Or more often, it's supposed to.   ;D  If you can't find one on a Fiero, some of the other GM's of the same era used them, even up into the early 90's.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers
