Body Security Module
So I did the impossible tonight, I managed to get the back of my rear seat off. Pretty simple given the amount of post I read on it, I pretty much knew excately what to do thanks to all the information on this website. It helps I got long skinny arms to and was able to fish around behind the seat.
Anyway, when I got the back off of the seat, I noticed a black box behind the carpet material on the driver side with Body Security Module on it. It also has on the label, "Siemens VDO Automotive 5L3T-15604-Bb" and on the plastic box itself has "PA66-(GF+M)37 embossed on it. Can anyone shed some light on the purpose of this box?
Also on the Passenger side was a Large plug that almost looks like a large 2 prong fuse would plug into it, it has a red and tan wire, and a yellow adn blue wire running to it. Any info on this would also be great.

Siemens is a great company... they make super high quality parts. Infact they make 99% of the electronics for Mercedes and BMW.
Check out their site... and drool over some of their digital LCD instrument clusters... I was thinking about contacting them to make an instrument cluster for both my F150 and my Dakota... probably cost some $$ though.
They are a VERY innovative company.
