On the dash of MY94 WRX. Maybe a sensor of some sort???

 

i believe its the alarm sensor pick up. standard.
what i was told

 

Well that place is normally for a black plastic retainer that holds that panel in place. Could it be that a previous owner has installed an alarm/immobiliser and it's a sensor for that? Is it an infrared-looking sensor, lol?

 

Did the classic WRX have a factory alarm?
Looks like factory wiring with a proper connector. It does look like an infared sort of thingy.
Tracking device?

 

some scoobs had key lock poppers

 

is'nt it some sort of sender for the aircon/heater control.mines got one too

 

What are they?

Could be. Might be a thermostatic wotsit for when the heaters are on auto.

 

I thought the heater/aircon sensor was that little vent thing on the heater control panel (and the surround trim) itself.

 

Oh yeah,forgot about that. Think you may be right joz.

Any more for any more?

I have a prize for the lucky chap who can identify it.

 

It's to do with the heaters/air con when on auto I believe, as is the little vent mentioned.

Nowt to do with an alarm.

 

i get the prize then,lol

 

You win £5! lol

 

You lucky man! You win unlimited access to my toolbox.
My heater matrix has gone and my dash needs to come out
See you monday?

 

no worries,see you at 5am.lol

 

Awesome, will this do you?

 

roflao!

 

lol.

 

mike h, you're correct!

That thing IS some kind of sensor - mine's the same. I always just assumed it was panel retaining thing, so was never ever curious to investigate it, lol...

I presume, as has been mentioned, that it's to do with the aircon(?) as, AFAIK, my car's not fitted with a factory alarm/imm.

 

Learn something new everyday. I,ve had the car 3 years and only just noticed it was there!

Millwrx, can't believe you stood me up! I'll have to do it myself now!

 

3 years for me too... come Sep 16th.

 

solar sensor i do believe

 

If it is a solar sensor, what's it for?

 

i think i've got the prize for slowest to notice something!!! had my classic 4 years and only found out it had a slide out cup holder when a chap came to fit a new cd player i had,felt major dumb at that moment.

 

Hoot! Yeah, I didn't realise that at first - although it was 'only' a matter of weeks for me.
