Is that from a 1988 XJ? Are there any connectors? What does the other side look like?

Knowing where it was might help too - although it looks aftermarket to me.

Cruise control module? Although it doesn't look like mine.

Does your XJ have cruise control?

yes I do. That brings up another question.
Mine is 5 speed manual.
This is the cruise control connector, I don't know where this plugs in.

I don't think any OEM device would have two red indicator lights.
It may be an aftermarket alarm controller...

yea, I going to have to go with an old basic aftermarket car alarm... the hole to the right was more than likely to adjust the sensitivity of the system.
Of course, it could also be flux capacitor (reference to the movie Back to the Future)
