2 finds thats got me stumped (@__@)
I need your help people, today I did a dash swap. I stuck the SE dash in my wagon, & my wagon dash in my SE. but while I was swaping dashes I found 2 odd things that I need your help with.
1st odd finding was this in my wagon...
its two black boxes. the one Im holding was right behind the glove box. it was strapped to the dash support beam with zip-ties. it also had two cables coming from it. one cable went to what seems like its power source (a wire on the CB9s dash harness). another wire went to the other black box. that 2nd black box was screwed onto the dashes side support plate by one screw. which was also holding a ground wire that was coming out of that same black box. ontop the 2nd black box there was also this thick cable. it has the same kind of connection the AV wires that your house tv might have. that thick cable goes behind the carpet & onwards to the back of the car. I dont think this is OEM by the ways it was installed. also my cb9 did have an alarm at one point. & Ive already removed on weird black box from under the drivers side of the dash. could this be another part of the old aftermarket alarm my car had?
2nd odd find was in the SE
I found that odd round connection while removing the dash out of my SE. Ive never seen it before. & my wagon doesnt have it. it looks OEM cuz of the way it was set up. one side of the connection goes into the dashes harness (see 2nd pic). the other side goes behind the fuse panel (see 1st pic). & now that I have the SE dash in my wagon I have this left over cable. & I also noticed that none of my speakers work. but the radio does turn on. & it does locate stations. but no sounds comes out the speakers. could the 2 be realted?
