Default Magic Button

I found this magic button below the steering column.


Now I just have to figure out what it does. If it isn't the flux capacitor I have always wanted, then I'm guessing someone has addressed a no start with this car before me.

It MAY be 1-4 shift disconnect. I remember installing one back in 91 and it looks similar.

Valet switch for aftermarket security system? SHouldn't be difficult to just trace the wires to see where they lead...

Concur looks like a little red LED on the lower left as well. GC

look again
it's red paint on one of the pedal studs.

but considering the era, an aftermarket noise maker is most likely what it is attached to.

I have seen one of these in a Ren and Stimpy cartoon episode. In the episode, it is the history eraser button. Press it only if you dare!
