Car alarm?
Stereo related?
Push-button start?

People have done extremely weird things with electrical before, and those 3 are typically what they were going for.

On the plus side, nobody made any "cut the red wire." jokes yet. Dan will be around shortly, I'm sure. :lol:

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I'm sorry Dan, the heat must be getting the better of me. Damn clay tiled roofs, basement can't get any oxygen. :lol:

First find out what it does, if it does anything. If they are unused, or the accessory they powered is removed, then go from there.
