Mystery button on dash

[slk]

Hey guys I have this button on the dash in between the throttle lock and choke pull. It is a push button and it buzzes like a sick buzzer but just instantaneously if you push it. Any ideas?????

Well it's not original for sure.
Someone's addition.

Follow the wires and see where they go.

My guess is a sick horn?

Or an old starter button hacked in....

Yep not original. Maybe a prior owner put it there just to make you ask questions. Or maybe it's the speed button. You know push it and hold it down as the truck jumps into warp drive...lol! I agree with Tom and Gary said either a replacement for the horn or a way of skipping the starter button. As Tom said the only real way to find out is to trace the wires and see where they go.

SLK did you find what the button goes to? I had another thought in that did the truck have a siren on it. That might have been a momentary contact switch to activate a siren. Just a thought.

I like that thought K8

I think a siren button also. The buzzing could be a relay.
