Here's the deal after getting my car I found out a PO had some sort of electronic crap in it, because there is a whole mess of wire that doesn't belong and the speakers weren't stock(or decent speakers o.O?) anyways just found a nice big chunk of it under the steering column when removing the dash...would like to remove all this crap as I have no idea what it went to and don't want someone else's hackjab wiring in my car....
Found a metal box mounted vertically to a bracket underneath rightside in dash speaker, also noticed the firewall has vents underneath of it, someone tell me if it belongs there, kind of looks like an ECM box so I am wondering if PO relocated it or something....

 

Sounds like the ECM or the Cruise Control Module if it's pass side - is it the same box you see from under the dash on pass side? Get us a pic if you can.

The rest might have been hacked speaker wire, or door entry - mine had keyless entry installed by the PO that actually works, and works great - pops the door locks and the trunk!

 

Yeah but isn't the ECM supposed to be driver side underneath steering column I always thought?

 

No, never. Under the drivers side are the fuse box and convenience center.

 

If it's silver, mounted vertically, measures about 6 inches wide,about 9 inches long, and 11/2 inches thick and has a bunch of wires plugged into the bottom end , it is without a doubt your engine computer and by no means excess stuff and that is it's normal location

 

If its the ecm,it will have 2 plugs on one end,one will go to the fender connector on the right side near kick panel,and the other will lead back into the interior harness.

Alicat.

 

That's where you hide the cocaine.

 

 

i thought thats what the deep pockets behind the 6x9 speakers were for?







and yeah thats your computer

 

Its the ECM or PCM aka the computer!
