I noticed it last night. Driver side rear wheel well.
It's a green tab like plastic thing. I can pull it back and forth but I can't remove it. I mean if I pull hard enough I probably can but I don't want to break it. Anybody know what this is or if it's anything important?

Many thanks!

Man that's a relief. I thought I had to bring it into Ford...
Thanks for all the replies people. I love this place!

I tried to find an image to post but now I have to poke my eyes out! Years ago I saw a cartoon about "I finally managed to remove the screw from my belly button" The little character's ass fell off ;-)
Glad you didn't pull too hard!

I looked, I guess not hard enough...
Thanks!
I still struggle with the search feature, sometimes.

Using the Google search feature helps and changing the words in the search can help.

Have a nice day,

OK time for wrong answers ...

My Ford dealer would probably charge me a diagnostic fee to figure out what it is. They don't read the manuals either and anything they have never personally seen has never happened before.

That's the tab that is supposed to activate the forum search function.
But you need the two electrical pigtails under the rear seat to power the search, the tiny button in the overhead console to hit "enter," and the little white funnel thing to filter the answers...
