It’s a Ford fiesta 2017. This car has a gps tracker wired into it, I’m trying to locate it to remove it. Based off of this website https://www.startmycar.com/gb/ford/fiesta/info/fusebox/2017/country-eu#anchorfusebox1
I have located that the plug goes into position 11 which is not in use so I feel like that may be for the tracker. Any of you guys have an idea?

That is definitely not there from the factory. Impossible to know what it’s powering, but gps tracker is a possibility. The plug is likely an inline fuse. You can follow the red wires to see where they go to recover the device and confirm your suspicion.

Yeah I’ll do that then
So it’s not from their factory which means someone has put in there yeah?

Correct, someone added that. I’ve seen similar wiring for dash cams, radar detectors, and other such devices, which is why we can’t say for sure it’s the GPS tracker. You’ll know when you follow those wires though.

Yeah I’ll follow them and let you know

lol idk shit
anyway i pulled the plug out and it turned the dash cam off
and it started coming up with traction control off, emergency assistance unavailable 😂
so it wasnt the gps

Ok, so a few possibilities. The GPS tracker may be battery powered, or it may be wired in somewhere else. Under the hood, are there any unusual wires connected to the battery maybe? That’s a good spot to start looking.
