Not 100% positive, but the Fords are either usually on the driver side in the trunk, or in the foot well on the passenger side on the right behind a small panel.

Has a little piece to pop out and it’s screwed on the body and the red button should be pushed all the way in for on or if you need it to turn off then you take a flat head and pry it ip
