The panel you are looking at is only held in place by four screws. Get out there and pull the panel out and start looking at the wiring, then report back what you find. If you expect us to tell you what the aftermarket switches are wired to in your car without a little legwork on your end, you need to sell the car and buy something that requires a lot less of your attention.

I am doing all that this weekend hopefully or the next week. It is way to cold out so right now i am going to make a checklist of what it all needs. Then after christmas when i install my new ujoints,Cam,Filters,Oils, and all i will take that apart and take pictures. I hopefully and pulling it in the garage this week,Right now its under my car cover outside . Once My dad sells his 00 Monte Carlo my car gets the one garage bay that the monte was in. I cant wait for that, I wont have to worry about the cold.

I will post pictures once i take it apart maybe tomorrow maybe next week.
Also shouldnt there be a alarm under the hood? Like in the middle of the engine copartment right under the hood near the windshield, I think who ever owned it took that whole system out. It is a electricle nightmare for me,So i will be needing alot of advice on that.

If you have lots of wiring concerns you need the wiring diagram for your car from www.lectriclimited.com. I bought one for my car, and if you have a lot of wiring to diagnose, you must have this. It lists every wire, harness and connection in your car. It is a laminated 22x17 print.
