    What's this black button for?

    Found a black push button switch on the black driver's side kick panel. Anybody know what it's for? Nothing in owner's manual. Is it OEM or a mod somebody made? Pic in my gallery.

    Passenger side ejector seat?

    If you bought it used, you might just have to ask the previous owner. It could be anything.

    It's not OEM, hidden like that, I'd guess that it might be an ignitoin cut out, installed as theft prevention.

    From used car dealership...didn't know squat....

    My guess was kill switch too since it was hidden and probably could be pushed using the foot. I'll try it out today. I pushed it yesterday just because that's natural when you see a button..."gee, what's this, let's push it"...car wasn't on. Haven't started it since, so I was thinking yesterday, boy, that was dumb, shouldn't have pushed that button w/o knowing what it does. We'll see if car starts today! (OTHERWISE it dang well should start as I installed a red top battery Wednesday!).

    My house came with at least three light switches that connect up to who-knows-what. I figure I should install a couple more before I sell it.

    Or a few dummy electrical outlets just for good measure.
