Abstract
An electronic vehicle security system includes a valet switch and status indicator light combined into a single unit. The system includes a central controller having a plurality of sensors connected thereto. The sensors are located throughout the vehicle and generate signals to the controller when an intrusion attempt into the vehicle is detected. In response to these signals, the controller automatically activates an alarm device or an anti-theft device to deter the intruder from entering into or operating the vehicle. The system further includes a combined valet switch and status indicator light assembly. The assembly is adapted to be mounted on the dash panel of the vehicle and is connected through a single wiring harness to the central controller.
