Perhaps I'm missing something obvious to others but I have no idea what this button does.

Hey_Allen

Looks like an aftermarket addition by some previous owner.
You're probably going to have to trace the wiring to find what it's connected to.

No idea... I've seen kick-down buttons mounted by the shifter but that seems like a weird location for that.

Thanks for the replies! Josh, I think you have hit on it. This vehicle had an aftermarket alarm which I removed, and this may have been a way to turn it off. Anyway, it does nothing now and the wiring behind it has been restored.

Is it actually a button or just a light. Usually the aftermarket alarms had a light that would blink in a visible location as a deterrent to make the thrives move on to another car. The button to defeat the alarm was usually mounted in an obscure location that only the owner knew as a backup, not in the most visible spot for a the if to shut it off.

If it's actually a button,, could have been a valet mode button that keeps the alarm from automatically setting and the light in it indicates it was in that mode, but that was usually a toggle switch, also hidden somewhere.

You guys are good! It is indeed just a light. Thank you very much.
