Re: Mysterious yellow box



I would probably say alarm.....might try doing a search for the manufacturer
online.  Maybe you'll luck out and find them then you'll be able to order
new remotes and ,....Ahh what the hell am I thinking,....my luck Never goes
that way,..but maybe yours will?   Pretty sure it is a alarm/keyless entry
deal though.
HTH,
Chris
