Any idea what this is in my '88 Pioneer?

[Crassis-Comanche]

Hi all, does anyone have any idea what this switch might be?

 

I still cannot find where it goes to through the firewall (I just picked up a "new" 1988 Pioneer LWB but haven't done anything with it yet).

 

This is mounted at the bottom of the dash, just below the steering column.

 

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a remote start system from Command Start/AutoMobility Distribution.

Thanks for the info Alexia!

 

So it's likely an old style remote starter (with a remote FOB)?

 

I'll have to start poking around the engine to see if there is anything more.

 

Of course it's minus 18 degrees Celsius here - which makes me want that TO BE a remote starter!

XJ/MJ remote starter units are typically all contained underneath the dash since they can get the tachometer reading from the wire going to the gauges.

 

That system is old enough that it will probably have to be replaced if you can not find a remote.
