Wierd button under steering wheel

[ShadowsPapa]

Common switch used for accessories so can't necessarily go by the shape/size. You can buy those from most electronics supply sites.
Like others have said - pop the panel, follow the wires.............

It could be anything from force field or shields to photon torpedoes or cloaking device to funky under fender lights or an oil mist out the back to prevent being followed.

Hello everybody,

I got my Gladiator for a couple of months now and today i saw this button under my steering wheel,

Anyone know what this button does ?

That, too.
Years ago I was dating a woman and happened to be at her house when her parents were there for a visit. She had just bought a new car that I helped her shop for. Her mother asked about a button on the dash labeled E/M
I said it was for "Eject Mother-in-Law"
She had a puzzled look for a second then laughed............

(actually it change the dash display like speedometer and such to English or Metric)

If you happen to have some AMP powered running boards, that is the same switch they use, and in the recommended mounting position. The switch is used to cut power to the steps.

I have a similar button for turning off my RSEs. Do you have retracting steps?

May have them and doesn't realize it - or - they ain't working........ or they were removed prior to sale and put on another JT..........

Please don't leave us all hanging when you find out... My bet is on the cloaking device though!

That is almost exactly where I put almost exactly the same switch for my aftermarket bed lights. KC Lights are going next to it when they get here. It is kind of a natural place to put it.

Couldn't you just put the aftermarket bed lights on the bed light circuit? It's 30amps isn't it. I know the bed lamps don't stay on if the vehicle is off but the Tazer can help with that a bunch of other light combinations. Otherwise, if the truck is on the lights stay? I only ask as I'm putting in bed lights and also rock lights and I'm going to use the bed lamp circuit since I have the tazer and can override the lights off truck off issue.

The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

Aftermarket heated seat switch? Just adding my guess…

I'd want it on a totally distinct circuit. No messing with other systems, and I'd have ONLY those bed lights on when I wanted them on. Sorry, doesn't make sense to me to tie them to anything else and then reconfigure truck lighting when I could have them by themselves.

So all he's got to do is turn it on and sit there for a couple of minutes?
