I had the same question when I replaced the headliner in my 2000. Then when I reinstalled the headliner and plugged the circuit board in the locks clicked, so I am pretty sure it is the antenna and controller for the remote entry system.

Well if it's aftermarket, it could really have been installed virtually anywhere... But that is the position that the sensor was located when it came from the factory. Go back to the place that installed the alarm and ask em where they put the sensor. Chances are it's in the same spot

Disconnect it and see if it still works.
