Mystery module

Sounds like the crash module, that's not it's technical name, I forget what it is called technically.

The truck is an XL, which means there are no extras on it, which means power nothing and vinyl seats and floors. I needed it to transport my then very young family, as I can take a water hose to it when I need to clean it out!

The impact switch for the fuel pump is in front of the right passenger door in the usual spot.

Anyway, there's no airbags.

Nope, I believe it's some sort of crash sensor, but I don't remember what it does.

They're putting sensors on when he has no air bags?

If it's a 96, air bags weren't an option, they were a government mandate. He has a driver's side airbag.

Nope, no air bags. The F350 came from Canada, but to meet US specs it would have to have them installed. Believe me, I've had a couple opportunities to have it blow if I had one..... IIRC, the half ton trucks had a different set of rules, whereas the heavier you got the later you got to implement.

Carl, Get the numbers off of the sensor and call a dealer parts counter.

It is either the Daytime running light module if you have them or the shunt for your headlights if you don't have DRL's

It does have DRL's, being a 96 from Canada. I suspected that was a possibility after finding it in the wiring diagram, but it seemed to me that the connector had more wires than the diagram seemed to imply, although the diagram tends to have option pieces all over the place.

The module for the daytime running lamps for some models is located in that spot.
