What is this object?


Recommended Posts

Hello guys, I hope you can help me.

I just got a 2015 Ford Transit Connect from Copart, it used to be part of at&t's van fleet.

There is an object at the rear door that I cannot identify. Its riveted to the door so I cannot take it out. I have researched but no luck finding out what it is.

Do you have any idea what it may be?

It may have been an alarm switch or additional door lock. But I'd go with alarm switch.

Not sure, it is not wired in any way, a key seems to go in that little hole, but again, it's not wired or connected to any mechanical component.

Go to a website that sells round keys like that (Google is your friend here) and get one that matches the keycode on there, looks like 0278? It looks to me like secure storage, like a micro-sized safe for keys or even a GPS tracking device.

If you can test the rack, do so. Not exactly cheap to buy new - Use it or sell it. There's a few different brands out there, so best bet would be to find a mfg sticker and do some digging for how to wire up the controller if that came with the unit - maybe some little black box you've been scratching your head over? That said, most of the power units are just added on to the basic unit, so the rack should work fine without the controller.
