Squeak located - 2011 GT
Originally I thought the very audible and very annoying squeak was coming from the shaker 1000 system, seeing how, coincidentally the noise went away when I took the speaker box and amp out...
After removing everything again in order to start applying dynamat as required, I decided to go for one last rip just to be sure, and low and behold, the squeak was still there!
After removing the carpet I found this...
What's this?? Is something missing maybe?
Ahh heck, those are tight enough...
On the other side of this bracket is a black plastic box that says discard if dropped.
So for anyone with a car that was built the week of 4/12 and can hear something coming from the passenger rear side of the car..this just might be you're culprit!

That's kinda lame really. I can't even tell what that bracket is. It looks like something is supposed to mount to it. Is that the front wheel well there? Is there a similar bracket on the driver side?

Not sure if this has something to do with the S1000. It's located right behind the speaker box and mounting bracket (The S1000 bracket is much beefier than this little guy), and from what I can tell, it's only purpose is to hold that little black box in place.

Found it on fordparts.com. It's a lighting control module (part 13C788B). The only reason I can think of for having one there would be for the sequential tail lights.
The bracket itself is called a 'fuse box retainer'
