Do I need to keep it or chuck it?
Made a good start in stripping out the loom on my 2.0i Sierra. I am going to leave the whole rear section in the car because if I can't wire up
2 rear lamps, a fuel pump and a cut off switch I had better stick to watching telly.
I cam across a large control box fastened to the N/S A pillar which I cannot identify, I suspect that it is an amp for the radio but would like to
know for sure before I crop it out.
It has the part number 87BB-10K910-AB which means it was first fitted to Sierra's in 1987, if it helps

id keep it junst in case if I were you. Can you trace the wires and amount of pins on the connector to summat that looks the same on a haynes manual
drawing?
I know I had a box or two I didnt use, one of which was the bulb fail unit. Obviously its not your ignition controller  
I didnt find the loom much guidance from the middle of the car back - its all rear cigar lighter / speakers and crap on a granada - as well as the
impact switch, rear lights, and fuel pump.
Do be sure to cut off the connectors and a bit of the loom for the impact switch if you are gonna use it. I did.

If its under the glove box and has lots of wires feeding into it i'd hazard a guess its the ECU,this is normally there and would have been
fitted to the injenjion models.
not sure about carb models but it is a shiny ally like box.

It's not the ECU, thats out and sorted, its quite a bit smaller than the ECU and at the base of the glove box, not above it, but thanks anyway

If it is mounted to the pillar could it be the curtesy light delay?

Got no ABS
I think I'll ring Ford in the morning, I still think it might be something to control the 32 speakers in the car

I seem to remember tugging one of them out along with the ECU come to think of it,it went straight in the bin with the ECU as i thought it was
something to do woth the inj system.
I've copied the crowd on my pinto ign lectrics with amp/module and bosch dizzy with a Weber,so i didnt need it anyway.
Can you not find anything relevent in the haynes book of lies ?

It's called the "Auxiliary Warning module" and is responsible for the door open, ice alert, low washer fluid and low fuel
warnings.
Ditch it
