I have no idea what it would be doing in your car though :SGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General purpose applications for automotive &car alarm system. Available for SPNC, SPNO, SPDT contact configurations. Optional for flux-free or sealed washable type. My question is, where are my standard AUX plugs and why is a potential car alarm/locking module in there instead?

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,293 Member For: 16y 10m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 25/09/12 08:38 AM Share Posted 25/09/12 08:38 AM It seems to be the control module for an after-market alarm and/or central locking unit.My guess is it is there for an aftermarket alarm. Just unplug the part that you don't need (anything that easily removes from the car and is not wired directly into the car/factory loom). Work your way through it from there.

Not sure how I go about them now, and from those, there are wires coming off going to the other side of the fuse box (which I would guess was for the central locking, with the main module for the alarm).
