There's no module to see mounted anywhere. And most Jeeps have wires running everywhere for some add on's like lights and such.
Hiding the module - smart.
As far as wires, yeah, the amateurs LOL - a few of us prefer things tidy.

Have you watched the instances of Jeep thefts? They know what they are doing, how they work, how to access the bus, how to program keys - they are going after Jeeps.

I wasn't suggesting they'd carry a relay, but that's so very obvious - leave them GUESSING, not instantly seeing where the problem is.
The longer you have them thinking or scratching their head, the better.
You have to think like they do (it's how I became top security person in our agency and the go-to person for security in other agencies -think like the black hats would)

If they pop that hood lock and pull the fuse panel cover (my first moves), they immediately know where the issue is (and as one video in these forums pointed out, the thieves came back a night later and finished the job)
Not seeing a wire, then it will stall them.
Seeing that as soon as you pull the fuse cover, you don't need a relay, you can simply cut the wire and complete the circuit.
You cut the wire. The relay is dead. Believe me.

That's why I put the module under the cowl.

I'll have to order one so I can take it apart and make a schematic................

I should be a thief. The things I've gotten into.............

Added IAG steps to my OEM Rubi sliders. I only bought two, just in case I didn't like them. However, they're very structurally sound, and don't hang below the sliders. I'll pick two more up for the rear doors.

A day late but, installed my PRP center console cover. I didn’t take pics but I like it. Fits like a glove and it’s beige. Going tan/beige/light camo on the interior to offset the black outside. Wife got one for her rig and I got one for mine when they were having that sale. Wife said we should have gotten the seat covers for her when she saw the console cover. There’s always next year!!:giggle:

also received wiring and stuff for the air horn install.

I put in some rear seat back protectors.
Tested the new diesel heater for the second time and secured its power source in the back seat. Getting ready for a hopefully cold weather trip the day after Christmas. However it looks like John Kerry might have shattered my hopes.😀

I’ve had mine since they were first released at the beginning of the year. Moved them over to the Mojito Gladiator that I got this summer. Very pleased and would do it again.
