Title: Security system?
Post by: hdff on September 22, 2017, 05:10:28 pm
I have this box behind the dash on the passenger side dash.  I also see an alarm type pickup on the door. What or how does it work?

You should have a remote keyfob to work it.  Mine does not work anymore.  It's on my list.  Many on the forum have replaced the control unit.  Same as what they use in autos.  You can lock/open the entry doors and bay doors with your remote.  Their should be a wiring diagram on the back of the unit.  Meantime their is a switch on drivers side to lock/open the doors and bays.  The magnetic pickup you see on the door is for your step when the coach is running.

My '99 is still going strong, but there is a post recently about an after market set-up. I forgot to bookmark it.

HDF,
Has Anyone Installed An Outside Keypad? (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=26464.msg212644#msg212644)

This system you can do both, a keypad or remotes.
