I just looked at mine and doesn't have one either. Has it been taken apart before? Maybe someone before you did some Reub Goldberg?

i thought it was either part of the remote release or the alarm system
but theres no place for it to attach to..
its actually molded into the lock cylinder or id remove it
if i   just stick it inside the truck lid   the lock works fine the button in the glovebox works  so i dont understand why its there
I've had the car since   92   suppose its possible somone added it

Factory alarms had extra parts on the door locks, was there anything extra on the trunk?
