Hi Luvrbus,

It seems mearly a motion/vibration sensor that will transmit when alarmed, to the driver.

I wonder how many times it would go off on a bumpy road, or small bump? Could be anoying...??

You said "a drive line came out".  Since we also tow a Jeep, I would like more details.  Thanks, Jack

Sounds like a broken U-joint to me or a driveshaft was being removed and wasn't completed!
