It appears the wires go over behind the kick to get power from the fuse box, then it runs up into the dash. See if you can stick you noggin in there by the pedals and see where the wires run to.

I've never seen a box with a button switch on it like that before.

Haha I was following the same thought! Use it responsibly OP!

On a srs note, years back I had a truck that had an aftermarket alarm system installed by the PO. To actually start the truck you had to depress that small black button then push the clutch in and THEN turn the key to start the truck lol

Burnout button to cut the fuse for the rear tail lamps?

If you press it do your brake lights stop working?

don't push that button, it could be a transponder. ( the government wants to know where you've been). OR that switch sends a signal to your speedometer so it will tell you that you are going faster than you really are.

It’s a switch that does “who knows what.”

Contact the previous owner who will know what it does.
