Botton on gear stick?
« on: 30 July 2009, 12:16 »
Last night being bored with a mate I Found a botton on my gear stick. I think it has something to do with the alarm. But what does it do and how does it work?

Thanks

dam can't do pics. can take a pic on my phone though lol. it's on the stick itself. have to take the knob off and gaiter. It's a tiny black botton on a chip bored, that is cable tied to the stick.

I had a 1996 and never had one, the fact that is cable tied tells you that it is aftermarket.
