what the hell is this button!?

[Chuckt]

i looked under the dash on the drivers side, and realized that near the trunk release there is a pushbutton hanging from the wiring. what is this??? i cant for the life of me figure it out, thanks, i could try getting a pic if noone knows

 

[Lunch_Box]

Did you try pushing it and see what happens

 

[Eclipse96Ryder]

maybe an alarm that the person before you installed on the car and didnt take out the button. thats what happend to me

 

[mitsumaster]

I think you meant the hood latch did'nt you? since its located under the dash and trunk is along the door sill area. anyway, indeed it can be the stock alarm, mine had it too but don't know jack on how to even troubleshoot it.

Don't push that button!!!!

Your seat will eject so damn fast, that..... .


j/k. I dont know what it is either.

 

[TBSpyder]

NAAAAWWWSSS!!!!

www.angelfire.com/mn2/arcadecontrols/button.JPG well there it is,

 

[sophat34]

looks like the valet button that comes with the old clifford alarms.

 

[dsmturboawd]

that arcade controller is ill man.

 

[dave99gst]

seat vibrator ?

does your car have remote start on it, because if it does dont push that button, it programs the remote start, keyless entry, trunk, and other things

that looks exactly like the valet switch for my Viper alarm system

I am guessing you have a aftermarket alarm system right? Try this... Open the door so that the alarm will sound. Put the key in the ignition and try to start the car. Doesn't start. Now when the alarm is still sounding, push that button and hold it in. Now, put the key in the ignition and try to start it. It should start right up then. Valet Alarm Switch!

i dont have an alarm on my car right now...

pull the carpet and follow the wires. tia.

ohh look, more expert advice from Special Ed It probably is an override switch of some sort. maybe an alarm, like other people said, or it might even be a neutral safty switch. anyways, good luck finding out man

 

[Chuckt]

haha, thanks

 

[RedEclipseGS]

Dude i was wandering what that was to... I have a GS no alarm of any kind i have pushed and pushed and it doesnt do anything...hmm that would make a good NAWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS button though

I'm trying to help him figure out what it is instead of you giving him BS guesses. You are no help, as usual.

Perhaps if he followed the wires, he could figure out what it was for. Seems like a good way for him to figure this shit out.
