Can someone please tell me what this is under my dash. I noticed it blinking during driving but didn't pay too much attention, figured it might be a low fuel warning since my fuel light turned on. After getting home and locking my car and still seeing it still blinking it's kind if weird, seems like it would drain the battery with it's constant blinking.

It blinks orange constantly not matter if the car is running or the alarm is on. Never seen this before.

Based on the label, it appears to be some type of cellular device. IMEI number is the first clue. Do a Google search on the P/N number and seem to be some type of Asset Tracking and Recovery device.

Got an FCC number too, you see that?
It's talking to somebody that much is certain. My guess is that its got to be part of your SYNC system. Cell phone interface or navigation or possibly both.

Its the black box. They are watching you. I agree with the other that said its part of the sync or alarm. Pretty lame way to mount it though. That makes me think it is an after market thing. So in closing this post was totally useless to you.

That is a GPS vehicle recovery tracking device. Used car dealers install them to track a car if someone does not pay. Makes it easier for them to repo the car. They can even make it so the car wont start if you dont pay your bill. This is not a ford part and has nothing to do with the navigation or sync. Was the car bought new or used?

It's a CalAmp LMU-400 (I think) tracker.
It may have been installed by the PO's dealership, and yours didn't know about it. OR... of course... they don't trust you.
Take it to them and MAKE them take it out, free. It should not be on the car unless you signed paperwork detailing this very thing. That should have been caught at Make Ready or Preowned Service checks.
