Now that I am actually getting to use my truck daily, I am noticing or at least getting around to asking about the oddities or broken bits. The central panel (?) in the dash on my truck has a yellow light that looks original, and a switch of some sort with a light in it with test written on it. It looks aftermarket to me, and doesn't actually toggle as far as I can tell- if you push/slide down it moves but is spring loaded so it resets when you take your finger off.
The yellow light will turn on when I turn on the turn signals and briefly stay lit. It doesn't blink on and off like the indicators on the dash. The other button does nothing. Not sure what either are for.
Is it just a hazard switch someone installed that is broken- seems strange because it doesn't actually stay switched on? Some day I'll pull it and see what it is wired into, but maybe I'm not even operating it correctly? Any thoughts?
