As shown in the image, I have no idea what this red button is or does. Did this even come in Fiero's or just something maybe a previous owner put in. And I know my car is dirty at the moment.

Something the PO did. Just take the plate off right there and see where the wires go.

I wired a garage door opener on my red 88 GT years ago, with a button very much like that in nearly the same position.

lol. too late!

It might be it's so you can read the error codes w/out removing the panel.

I vote for Smoke Screen or retractable Bullet Proof Shield! Maybe an oil slick!

I second that!
It could possibly be one of the ultra-rare dealer installed ejector seats!

Possibly, but that had a different button to it. This looks to be the self-destruct option installed by GM's bean counters.

its the button that transforms the car into a secret agent mobile......but your not a secret agent that why it doesnt work

That'd Be Your Kitt Switch. It Was An Option On Most Firebirds At The Time (Turning On Scanners And Whatnot), But For Some Odd Reason It Was Built In To Your Fiero... How Curious.

maybe the previous owner was planning on doing this

maybe the secret agent was caught and the villan took the car?

it activates the flux capacitor!

The paint on that looks familair... I could have sworn I've seen that car posted on the forum by it's owner at one time. It didn't have any of the KITT stuff then though.

Never mind the red button....what does that toggle switch do?

quote Originally posted by LuckyStrike: it activates the flux capacitor!

lol great reference.

Does your Fiero have an alarm? If it does, I would think the button is an over ride and the toggle is a valet switch.

If you lose the remote, you can turn the ignition to ON and push the button to kill the alarm.

The valet switch will disable the automatic arm (like when valet parks your car).

Really stupid place to put both of those, if that's what they are.

A few Fieros ago I mounted a switch there to manually control the rad fan.

Yours though... you've probably now activated a homing beacon for the aliens...

I'm going with this one since I had one in my car.

It's really a Klingon Cloaking Device. Very useful in evading police and surprising your friends.

It activates the HERF gun to disable police radar.

It activates a light on the dash that says, "don't push the red button again"

Since you recently aquired this vehicle....

The red button activates the "trunk monkey".

If it doesn't work, the monkey was stolen by PO

Hope this helps..

I bet it's the History Eraser Button.

i'm sure he is now regretting asking the peanut gallery...

but here my goes:
it's for nothing. just to screw with your mind. absolutely nada. i have a few of those in my car. wires leading to nowhere. extra holes for nothing. extra pieces & lack of.
eternal puzzle. aaaaarrgh!

i love this place!

Every time you press that button someones fiero breaks down...quit pressing it!

It opens/closes a neighbors garage door three streets over... thats why you never know what it does.

Are you sure that doesn't send you into hyperspace?

You guys are all wrong....that's the rare Pontiac "MERA" option..... mine works
