what did I find?
« on: August 18, 2013, 08:20:36 PM »
So I was tearing out all the old interior  in my ranger and I found this. Its mounted in the middle on the back wall behind my seat. No part numbers and I cant find anything in my  Haynes manual. I disconnected the nagitive wire on it and my truck still runs fine. Any ideas on what it is and what its for?

For a cigarette lighter type power plug in, like the plug-in on the end of a spotlight or a cellphone charger cord for example.  Basically just another spot to get juice from if your cigarette lighter hole is being used.

Funny responses!  One of my students actually found a tracking device in his truck a few years ago.  It looked similar to a car alarm but smaller and had what looked like a small antennae.  he looked up the company name it had on it and found it to be a gps tracking device.  his mom said it was from his cousin who owned the truck before him  :chuckle: , ya ok mom
