It seems to go up into the dash. I don't think there's any real way of knowing without removing the dash completely.It's not factory.
So either a GPS device, an immobilizer, perhaps something that was required as part of your auto loan, whatever. Heck, it could be an ejector seat and when the light goes out you go flying.
Where does the wiring for it go?
Were you offered or did you buy any aftermarket products when purchasing the vehicle? Or elsewhere? It doesn't look like a kill switch to me, which would not be nefarious per se, but you'd think you'd know about it.
About a year and a half now. I bought at puente Hills ford
Seems like other people have found similar under dash lights on their vehicles (see older link below from Mustang forum). Might be lo-jack or other such non-oem anti-theft devices?Does anyone know what this little red light device is for? When I wear hiking boots, it sometimes interferes when I'm working the pedals.
I have not had any aftermarket work done. The sticker price does include anti theft device but I do not have any type of service active.Were you offered or did you buy any aftermarket products when purchasing the vehicle? Or elsewhere?
Or do you have a nefarious ex-wife??
I don't mean aftermarket you asked for; there were reports on the forum of people finding devices that were pre-installed as a hard sell by the dealer to buy the service. They were offered the service and refused (device already installed, though), then later found a tracking device that the dealer wanted back.
I see. Yes, well it definitely came with it, new from the dealer, so it seems to be something they installed. That particular dealer is not local to me so I have not been back to it since.
Here's an example, although it doesn't have a light. That confuses me a little, what the light is for.
Also, I don't have a loan, or a nefarious ex wife! Lol!
