i have an 82 928,there is a silver rectangal box on the inside drivers front fender between the radiator and the power steering pump resevoir.its about 4 x 7 also there is a three wire connecter right next to the box,it has a female connetor on it like the fuel injectors.its pretty short cant seem to see where it connects and what its for.anyone know what these are for?

what side of the car is the steering wheel on

sounds like the ignition brain.....but the side is wrong

Ign brain is on driver side in RHD....but power steering is on other side of engine. A foreign device? My ign brain is obviously a cast alloy thing, but its pretty grubby in surface finish, certainly couldnt be described as 'silver'.

I am thinking its the "wiggle" box for an alarm system. Triggers alarm from vibration and sometimes tilt.

Odd that it would have a nice connector of any kind. If its Porsche, someplace on it will be a part number. How about a picture of the mystery part?

sure ill send a pic asap,the three wire connector doesnt plug in to it.I think its something different.my car is left hand drive and the ign brain is on the opposite side.

This is a motion detector, does your box look like it?

Yep... motion sensor for factory alarm. IIRC, the 'nuts' on top may be for adjustment of sensitivity and position...?

thanks for clearn that up.i dont think it is hooked up.i have never heard any alarm go off or had a problem with startn car.the three wire connector that looks like the fuel injector connector just biggerit is on left side drives side right next to radiator by headlight motor on inside fender well.by the way my headlight motors work fine so not for that.i see nowhere that it connects to.any ideas?

Maybe for a turn signal you don't have or ?

Aftermarket alarm, can't see anything like that box coming from Porsche factory.
