Rafael Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 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?

Gideon Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 It may have been an alarm switch or additional door lock. But I'd go with alarm switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jrm223 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 worst case, you could try asking AT&T about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sKiZo Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 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. rpk3mp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
