Indicators?

by **adam_ae111** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 4:44 pm

nah they arent lights they are just like a flexible plastic pads with two wires coming out of them. they dont seem to do anything but i dont want to just rip them off incase they do something and the wires are live or something.

They had these on cars in aussie. They look like sensor strips that you put on front and rear bumpers that beep or whatever when you get to close to something.

You'll probably have to trace the wiring if you want to be sure they're not live. Wouldn't be surprised if they run right through the doors and make an appearance in the kick panels.

i have no idea at all they go in the door and then back in the car under the dash somewhere.

i was wondering if they might be sensors for the outside temperature?

does anyone elses altezza have these?

parking sensors is my guess

odd place to put them though.

got any aftermarket buttons that dont seem to do anything?

by **adam_ae111** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:05 pm

nah nothing i have seen. since you said parking sensor i went out and tried moving my hand slowly toweard it etc to try and make it beeb or something but it done nothing.

Wow a double double post.

Did you try testing with the car in reverse? Or running? Sometimes they need to be like that. It would be a strange place to have parking sensors though- Its a strange one.

aftermarket tv aerials?

by **KinLoud** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 10:19 pm

My guess - they glow when you turn your lights on (probably need to be quite dark to see this

Some sort of radar detector sensors?

by **xsspeed** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 11:10 am

i'm guessing temp tensors of some sort, a lot of cars have temp sensors in the wing mirrors

by **gmacrae** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 3:27 pm

maybe those are the turbo boosters?

by **adam_ae111** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 4:00 pm

if they are turbo boosters they arent working lol.
i think they might be temp sensors because no matter what i do they wont glow beep or do anything else. o well it might be forever a mystery. l

they might not be connected...
