I've always been curious as to what the red rectangle shaped button on the left of my steering wheel is for?
i pushed it and it lights up but it does nothing as far as i can tell....
car is an 84 camaro z28

 

Must be for an after market addition of some sort.

so yours doesnt have this button?
i just figured it was stock.
it looks as if its in a stock location for something if its not stock

 

Do you have any pics of it?

My 84 didn't have anything on the steering wheel, so it's most likely something someone added later.

 

No. No Camaro was ever OE equipped with such as far as I know.

oh sorry. i mean on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. next to the **** for the lights.

 

...post a picture

 

i dont have a picture right now. im at school.

 

I thought that was for defrost? I have it, it switches back and forth and has a center red lens on it which lights up when clicked. Ill get pictures after work if he doesn't before me. I know exactly what you are talking about.

I don't see it here but there is another button in its place.
This is not my car by the way.

My defrost button is below the cigarette lighter (the button does light up, but it's amber); the fog light switch is below the headlight ****. A previous owner may have used a "blank" plate to install a light/switch to indicate that an electrical device of some sort was engaged (fans, lights, security, etc.). A pic would tell us all we need to know. I doubt it'll be helpful, but there is a pic in my Car Details below.

All good, left side- lights on top and fog light switch on bottom, right side- cigarette lighter on top and defrost on bottom.

 

my defrot button is on the right side.

As I suspected, the red button is not OE.
