Can anybody tell me what this part does and where it belongs? Any help would be great thanks.

 

i'm not sure, but I would guess that is the power steering computer.

 

I looked and there doesn't seem to be anything missing!

 

Abs? AAS? What car is it from? GXL..TII.etc.?

 

It's from a 87 TII. I looked and there is something missing but it doesn't connect to each other. There female connectors.

 

Not AAS, check under the steering wheel on the right side. Looks like the ABS computer to me.

 

I've been looking around at random pictures...On second thought Its probably not either..... I may have wasted your time. For that I apologize. If I find it somewhere I'll let you know. Hopefully someone better equipped will chime in soon.

 

I just checked. And still all the wires are there and nothings missing.

 

Its all good davidholmes. I'm sure some fc guru would know.

 

On page 15-8 of the FSM theres a "Location of relays and Units" you could check all their locations.. but that would take some time.

Thanks it's a start, I'll look and try to find this part where it belongs.

 

did oyu look around in the trunk area?

 

Yes I did. There is a connector but that part doesn't connect there both female connectors.

 

Looks like the Factory alarm for a S4. Found behind the passengers lower dash area (just below the glove box).

 

The Guru has spoken, thank God too, cause I was still looking for pictures. BTW that alarm can be more trouble than its worth,mine is anyways. You may want to just forget about re-installing it. If you want an alarm, get an aftermarket one with a shock sensor.

 

That would be dumb.

The Factory Mazda alarm is exceptional and seldom fails. If you feel the need for an aftermarket keyless system it can be wired right in.

Remember that alarm will detect someone slim jiming the door, it will detect the door opened from the inside (such as if someone climbed in the sunroof).

If you are having problems with the factory alarm, chances are that the door latch switches are out of adjustment (usually from someone putting the door panels back on wrong) or that you have a leak or seal problem in the hatch area. In 20+ years of owning and working on FC's I have yet to see one S4 factory alarm brain fail.

But of all the things to remove from the car, removing the factory security system is just dumb.

 

Touche.

 

Thanks Icemark and Davidholmes I appreciate it. I will reinstall this. Thanks for the info.

 

No problem. Good Luck Buddy.

 

Fyi dastunner007, 3 years ago my alarm was 100% functional and armed, some *** just smashed the window, reached in without opening the door, and ripped out my cd/mp3 player. Im 99% sure the factory alarm is NOT equipped with a shock sensor... Had it been I would have been "alarmed" to the situation. If your dealing with idiot thiefs , yeah the factory alarm works great. Anything by DEI, (viper etc.) is great, but a professional installation is key.

Not all thiefs enter by opening the doors. Shock Sensors are key.

 

i have only seen my security light come on when i unlock my hatch with a key. ive never heard an alarm or anything else just that light flash only when using my key and only when using my key to open my hatch. LOL!!!

 

Well I just acquired this RX7 TII from my mom's boyfriend and I'm just going to keep it stock inside for now. I'm pretty sure a thief doesn't want the oem radio casette player and speakers. lol
