Uh oh....Hey folks,
Noticed a weird button today. I’m the first owner, so shouldn’t be anything after market.
It’s a 2021 Ranger Lariat Tremor.
Any clue what this does? Right next to the hood release. Red and black wire going back into the dash.

Looks like it could be a shoddy install of a dealer alarm.

I'd be on the phone telling them to take it out and replace the lower trim piece.

I'd be so angry and start yelling as soon they answer.
No I'm kidding. I would be furious.

I'd be furious too especially since they didn't tell him about it. Now if it was installed correctly and didn't look like a 5th grader did it I'd have no problem with it. Of course that depends how much they charged you for it too. My guess...WAY to much! ?

Are you still getting a Bronco?

Yea. The tremor is just my holdover. Damn it’s good though. I’ll miss it. I have a VIN still for a 2021.

Make sure they properly repair the wiring harness they most likely hacked up to install it. They couldn't even get the switch straight. I'd be worried about cuts and splices.

100% a anti-theft device. Follow the wires under the dash. I bet there is a split off on your OBD2 port. The button you push in an emergency. It has a control module.
This is a MOPAR example I had in my last truck, but it could be installed in any vehicle.

Wasn't much left of it after I found it and destroyed it. Dealer didn't want it back.
