Mystery electronic box and solenoids

Sam454 · Jun 19, 2024

I found this stuff under the dash. The box has an antenna so I’m assuming it’s an onstar/LoJack? The solenoids I have no clue. There is a switch wired into the box too.

Something aftermarket and not professionally installed.

It gets worse the longer you look at each picture!!

I would say it an aftermarket security system of some sort.
There is probably a manufacturer name or part numbers.

I looked up the FCC ID and it just says it’s stock equipment.

The wiring itself isn’t that bad. It’s just the organization that sucks

Aftermarket alarm, shock/vibration sensor, and siren. If you don't have a remote for it, then it's junk. Careful removal of it can help avoid issues in the future, but be aware it is almost surely tied in to the starter circuit as an interrupt, so you'll need to identify where the aftermarket wiring meets your factory wiring and splice the factory wiring back together as you remove the aftermarket junk - or you'll have a no-starter once you get through. This is usually pretty easy because the appearance of either is fairly distinct.

I took the 2 red wires it was in between and put them back together so it works now after I removed the system. Could I install a hidden kill switch on the same wire?
