Any clue what this is?

I was doing my usual exploring when I came upon this wiring. It's behind the cap that is above the driver's side door. My truck is a 97 SE7 and everything works. I have no dummy switches in that area. There seems to be a huge wiring harness up there with it. Any idea what it is?

Thats crazy! I didn't know the DII have motion detectors inside. Thanks for your input. I bet that is what it is.

If you ever leave your windows down and set the alarm you'll learn about motion detectors. A lot of times the wind will blow things around in the cab and set it off.

The only thing I can think of is that might be wiring for the Homelink system. That feature was added in 97 to the Discovery. But you said yours was an SE7. It was standard on that model. Originally it was mounted over the drivers door (like on the P38 Range Rover), but it was moved to the area under the interior rearview mirror later. Is that were it is on your truck?

About the interior sensor on the DII... It is technically an infrasonic sensor. Too many people complained about it being set off when the vehicle was parked with the windows down or with a dog left inside. It was quickly discontinued (in 2000 or 2001). The movement of AIR inside the car caused by the wind blowing if the widows were down was enough to set it off. It can be turned off in 2 ways. One, it can be turned off by the dealer using TestBook. Two, if locking the car with the remote, pushing the lock button twice within 2 seconds. This will lock the doors and turn on the perimetric protection but not the interior protection.

I also think it's the wiring for an infrasonic sensor. I just changed the headliner in a Range Rover today which has one located above the drivers side door. That wiring looks the same.
