Hey guys it's another installment of "name this part." i have no idea what this is, it has a circuit board in it and is on the headliner between the sun visors... i gots my 93 (it's not a sport) and it does not have one of these. i am thinking it was/is some kind of censor for daytime running lights but i can't find nothing in the owners manual about that i know that a lot of Canadian cherokees have daytime running lights well let me know what y'all think...

You should be able to get a fob. They are pricey at the dealer. Once in awhile you see them in the for sale section here.

Didn't Wane and Garth have one of those in there little blue car in "Wanes World". I think theirs had some yummy red rope stuff in it. You might get lucky and find some more.
