Idk, can we see what it’s coming from with the light off?
 
Can you take a pic of it with light on it? We can at least check if it’s in the OBD port, then go from there. Hopefully you didn’t steal it hahaha
 
Ok, definitely not a factory part there. Trace those wires. If it’s a company truck it could be a tracker/data spot. Whoever did it wasn’t trying to hide it though so I don’t think it’s malicious?
 
If your vehicle is brand new, it definitely didn’t come from the factory like that.
Looks like something that was installed by your dealer or a previous owner.
 
Could be an OBD scanner or trailer brake controller? Definitely aftermarket, like everyone has said.
 
:oops:Drilled into the dash? At least they used phillips screws.
I wouldn't have taken delivery of that. I don't want the dealership's obvious aftermarket crap in my truck. Especially not drilled into the interior paneling like that.

A lot of times dealerships have their own Lojack type service that they bundle with their extended warranties which allow the truck to be located, etc. This is not necessary on the newer Ford's as we have that functionality built into Ford pass. My guess its some third party tracking and theft recovery stuff pimped by the dealer and installed in the most obvious way possible.
 
So along the lines of this post, I found this device a few days ago:

Thoughts as to what it might be? It has Velcro mounting…

I haven’t had a chance to trace the lines yet, but I assume red and black are power…
 
Definitely something that was installed by the previous owner of your vehicle.
It might be some kind of GPS device that many used car lots use.
 
A lot of dealerships sell their own tracking and recovery services as part of their extended warranty and coverage plans. These trackers are installed by the dealerships in various ways. That device, is likely one of them.
