Who knows what the red thing is

Depending on what year 325 it is, I believe the little red cap thing is the sensor for the remote key fob. At least that's what it was in a grand cherokee I once had.

It does two things:

1. It wiill blink when the alarm system has been set. This is to deter
undesirables, thieves....etc.

2. It also receives the key fob signal for the alarm system.

Hope this helps....

Re: Who knows what the red thing is

I also think it may be so big just for looks. Maybe if is enlarged to show off the alarm system, as stated above. I know that it also receives the key fob signal.
