Did you all know this thing was a card holder?

So I’ve had my 2012 Focus SE for a while, and I always thought those were just blank buttons for fancy features like adaptive cruise control or something… turns out they’re actually card holders! Blew my mind!

Haha, beep! Guess you just paid the warranty on your TCM!

What warranty are you talking about?

Just joking about the never-ending warranty fees.

Oh, got it.

It’s for the Transmission Control Module.

Only problem… when it’s in park, it’s kinda hard to pull the card out.

Yeah, I noticed that too!

I’ve owned my Focus for almost 9 years and never knew this! Thanks for the tip, OP.

Glad I could help!

I only found out last year… I stuck a card in there just to see what it would do.

I realized it when I thought about pulling the button to try and run a wire for my new stereo USB.

@Wilder
Haha, that’s actually pretty smart.

So, what did everyone think it was before?

I thought it was just a blank button for extra features like adaptive cruise.

It might actually be! Maybe don’t put your cards there.

Nope, it’s really a card holder.

I pulled it out and checked the part number… it’s a card holder.
