I'm the second owner. I don't believe there was ever an extra security system.(christ, the factory one is effective enough?!) There's no funny keys, brochures, manuals or window stickers to indicate anything was fitted. No extra dash lights either.
But I will have at look at the wiring and see if there's any ****-****ery going on there.
Basically it's a bog stock, unmodified AUIII SE ute with 3 cloth seats, column shift auto, vinyl floor, buggered stereo, no roof liner. It's an old tired ute. But I like driving it and it's useful to me. Before this issue it has been super dependable.
I did notice some schmutz under the floor vinyl near the
PCM/
ECU on the passenger side. Almost looks like an old insect nest or something. Lots of little **** stains and granules of crud around the
PCM/
ECU box.
But I was having trouble getting the vinyl and the bottom of the glove box out of the way enough to see down there properly.
I will revisit next week....
