Title: what did I find?
Post by: Fishaholic 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?

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
