Everyone who gets in my truck thinks they are buttons for interior lights so they cram their fingers in the holes trying to turn lights on. I have no idea if they even work on my truck anymore.

One is a dummy, the one closest to the driver... the others are sensors for the alarm system...

Security sensors. If someone breaks the glass they sense motion and go off.

Can confirm they are sensors. I was wondering why my alarm would always sound when the dog was in the back seat and finally figured out why. I thought my alarm button was super sensitive but nope turns out the dog set the alarm off.

Here all along I thought they were little speakers for the bluetooth you talk into.

Makes sense when you mention the dog. I was on the road and stopped at a restaurant left windows half way down for dog but locked door. Was wondering why I could see my lights flashing from the restaurant window and alarm was going off.
