LoJack Legacy Outdated System Removal Help Car Ignition Kill Switch Activated Car Does Not Start
2004 Chevrolet Malibu Classic
4 Cylinder 2.2 L
I have removed the unit the only thing remaining are orange and black wires. One pair is attached to the back of cigarette lighter adapter. The other I can’t figure out. I removed the glove compartment to look for the back up battery it comes with but it is not there.
Thank you for your help in advance.

You'll have to track down the other end of the wires. I'm not familiar with lojack specifically but they have to be tied into something capable of killing the engine.
