Default What is This Button For?
This is zip tied beside the OBD-II port. Looks like a push button switch. I've tried pressing it but I don't see anything happening. 2010 F-150 Lariat.

Thanks...

That was my initial thought but I don't have an after market alarm. Maybe something to do with the Remote Start System or Trailer Package?

It is a valet switch for factory remote start that was installed.

Did a search and found the Ford manuals but did not see a reference to said switch! The search continues...

Thanks...

Well it's been bypassed or ur truck wouldn't start. Definitely not something Ford put there. If u just bought it I would take it back and see if they can help you out. I can't tell from the pic whether its a button or something else
