I've got one of these buttons too. As far as I'm aware, it doesn't do anything. I couldn't figure it out either. When I pulled apart my dash i noted that the button was located near a little vent that was attached to a hose of some kind. Almost like an air freshener pump. I presumed it was for that reason.

I believe that hose is a temperature sensor of sorts

that was a compliance issue under the old rules... the cars needed a dimmer switch and that was the easiest way to put one in :(

and i always thought it was factory cause it sure looks like it. my antenna switch is just above my left knee..that looks factory too. thumbs up to the compliance guys then.

yeah the tube is for your climate control to measure cabin temp, im pretty sure of it.

Some jealous so-and-sos buried a really smic R33 with its owner out at Eastern Creek... right in the middle of the Lighthorse Interchange.

You cannot see the car at all. The only way he was able to draw attention, was to press this switch!

All that remains, is this aerial, sticking up outta the ground; 50m high & lit up at night!

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
