Looks like a valet switch for your car alarm.

Looks like a valet switch for your car alarm.

Maybe that or some type of under dash lighting that was installed by the previous owner. Does the car have and aftermarket alarm system on it?

Something aftermarket for sure.

Alarm/starter disabler LED light. Yank it out and find the rest of it and do the same.

Thats the same crap I found on my 2000 GT when I bought "Brand New" from the dealer, I took the car back to the dealership to find out what the hell it was, Dealer installed an aftermarket alarm on my car and forgot to disclosed it before selling the car to me, they removed the alarm system but forgot to remove this piece, I demanded the alarm to be reinstall if not I was going to return the vehicle..

good luck..

Good to see that you're taking good care of your car, exploring is and anayzing its contents. I did the same when I bought mine.

I would follow those wires and see what they lead to. Probably an alarm switch like others are saying. My cobra has two screw holes in the same area as the switch you are showing us a picture of. I think the holes are from someone mounting a similar switch at one time.

A factory installed alarm? There was no such option on the Terminator. :shrug:

Or do you mean that you used to install aftermarket alarm systems?

You dont have to work in the actuall plant, when you purchase the car off any dealership they ask you if you would like to purchase an alarm, the tech's install them or they send them to get installed somewhere else but yet they still make money out of it. Its the same thing when the delership ask you if you would like get tint, then they send them out to a shop.

Thats exactly what they tried to do to me when I bought my GT in 2004.

Wanted to charge me $600.00 for the alarm or they would remove it.
I said no thanks,. They had shown me the brochure it was for the brand "Karr alarm" so I went home and looked for it on ebay. I found it for like 30 bucks and because they had done all the wiring and just removed the brain,I just had to plug it in and its working to this day.

OP your led looks exactly like my karr alarm,Its very common for dealers to use them cause they're cheap. I bet you could do the same thing wiring is probably all there behind the kick panel,just get the brain and plug it in.

Look here:

[99cobra09]

^yes, they use that brand KARR! If you were to switch it out i would recommend VIPER thats what i have in my Cobra.

it's the knutter valve controller for the turbo encabulator, not really looks like a part of an alarm system. take that crap out.
