I discovered a white button right behind my ignition. It's electronic, it's wired through the steering column. Anybody know what it is and what it does?

 

It's not a button it's a light. I re-wired it to stay on when I have the lights on. Good for night time.

 

When does it come on? I've never seen it on

 

I have no idea. Mines never came on before I rewired it. I discovered it was a light after re-wiring it to see what ti does. Maybe you should do the same?

 

its to help you see where to put the key into, it turns on as soon as you pull the outside door handle

 

Yeah cause finding that damn ignition in the dark is a bitch LOL. How was it you did it? Plus I found a harness that's not connected to anything. I'll have to take pictures of it tomorrow and maybe you can tell me where that leads to because the Haynes Manual was useless with these

 

Mine (stock) turns on as soon as you pull the driver's door handle. If it's not doing that, there is a set of wires that runs through the door to the handle that you should check, and make sure they get power

can't say I ever noticed one on mine...know its there just never noticed...now I'm going to have to go and take a look

 

Mine turns on when I open the door.

 

I'll have to further investigate. I never noticed it before. It would be nice if it would stay on until you turn the ignition

 

myn would turn on with the door closed and drain my bat so i un pluged it
