They are actually disabling ray guns secretly installed by Chevrolet.

That explains why they don't work!

+2 to motion sensors. If you dont have the anti theft system then they are not connected.
+3 to motion sensors but most mustang's do not have them if they dont' have the active system (hence why you can get billet parts for up there). Are you sure you don't have the active anti-theft system? As someone else said, roll down your windows, lock the car, wait a minute or two and wave your arm in there. If it goes off, you've definitely got it.

Wrong. Yes they are motion sensors. No, you would not have them if you didn't have the active anti-theft system (unless the vehicle was misbuilt).

What is your VIN? I'll tell you if you have the active anti-theft system or if the vehicle was just misbuilt.

those are motion sensors, that also record other data in case of a crash. for example, upon front impact, it checks the motion of the people in the front seats etc. when deploying the airbags along with the weight sensor that determines whether to deploy them at all in the first place. it records what you were doing prior to the crash as well, what seat position you were in, were you moving, having sex, etc. and then stores in the ecu along with the top speed and stuff for crash investigators.

WTF? where do you guys hear this stuff? These are intrusion sensors only. Some of you have some wild imaginations.
