A little help please
Hi. When I was fitting a boost gauge today I found a small button on a flying lead behind the lower trim below the steering wheel.
It only has two wires connected to it and there is a hole in the trim (doesnt look standard) where the button used to come thru. Any ideas what this might be for?
I`ll get some pics of it tomorrow.

Nope. I have one of those fitted on the left.
This switch does not toggle.
I havent pressed it with the ignition on as i dont know what it does.
It would need to be held on, but thanks all the same.

Neon's .
I only say this as i bought a mk1 astra years ago and found a switch that i could work out what it was for. After following the wires i discovered a neon light under the rear bumper.

Trace the wires back to find out what it is connected to.
I've seen a couple of classics with the Read Mode Connectors wired to a switch, for easy fault code reading from the ECU.

That sounds interesting.
I had a quick look initially but the wires dissapear into a big bundle under the dash. sounds like a good possibility, I'll have a better look in the morning.
Cheers.
Any other ideas anyone?

A woman at my work found these two weird red buttons underneath the receptionist's desk, seemingly not used for anything. So she thought it'd be a good idea to press them anyway. Nothing happened...... Then, about 10mins later, the fire brigade turned up!!!
They weren't pleased, when we explained...
