    Unknown button?



    What is this one circled in yellow? Passenger eject button??? It does nothing when pressed. Also when I turn my lights on at night the two switched to the right of that stay lit up. Are they supposed to?

    That would be a window lock someone re-located. My guess is someone stuck it in there as a filler. Thats where i have my window lock, all you have to do is extend the wires like 14 inches from the shifter console to the button.

    The second question- Yes they stay lit up when you turn on your lights and they get brighter (or blinks) when you push em.

      this guy is truth.

      if you look on that switch that you have circled you can faintly see the icon for a window with a disconnect symbol on it

      then again you have a vert, so that is where the switch started at.

        Push the button, then try your power windows.

              You're all wrong.

              It's a circuit breaker for the windows.

              Although I guess you can use it as a window lock... although there really isn't a purpose for that in a coupe. The 4-doors have a separate window lock.

                      That's because they was there in the HVAC panel till 87. Then in 88 and on, they put the breaker switch on the console.

                          So verts and 87's have the swith on the console. No hole in near the shifter

                            Actually, only the buttons that have red on the sides(you can see it better if you press the button) are a window "circuit breaker." It even has an adjustment screw on the back for setting the threshold.

                            All the other ones that are a completely black button are merely a switch - and a pointless one at that.
