So I guess I am finding new interesting things about my prelude that I just purchased. As the father in law and me were tearing into the dash to diagnose my cruise control issue, we ran into a switch panel under my knee knocker panel that had 2 toggle switches and a button switch. Him being a veteran mechanic and not liking anything but BONE STOCK he mumbled a comment like "guess someone fkd with this down here for no reason". I figured it was for an alarm system cus it had i think a beep on/off switch and a valet switch. I'll have to look again to see what they all are. Anyways I was reading through an EDM aftermarket thread, and came upon this post:

So then a light went off in my head, that is what the switches were for, so I looked through those instructions and was able to find the alarm control unit also under my seat!!! Yes, i got excited :-) Anyways, being at work, I was not able to do more searching from there.

This I was going to ask though, does anyone have a copy of the manual for the alarm system? I tried using the google machine but all it comes up with is alarms for later model preludes or aftermarket alarms. I just want to continue searching and see if the other stuff is in the car also, and to see if I can trouble shoot the system to see if I can get it working!

system I am talking about:

Thanks in advance!

 

there are manuals on honda-tech for all of our cars. search through to see if you can find yours

 

This is for what looks like a dealer installed item though, i don't think it's listed even in the service manual, would those be listed on here?

 

it's a stock item, but it's not listed in the service manual? you are probably out of luck if that's true.

 

Yeah I just relooked over my whole service manual's electrical section, nothing even listed in the index, component location, etc :-(
