I just bought a 93 ES300 and the owners manual doesn't show what the small square red on/off, in/out button on the left side of the steering column is for. Anyone know? Thanks

 

Picture? Maybe its for an alarm/anti-theft system light

 

blinker fluid refill button?

well, to be honest, anything that's red in the interior is probably aftermarket

 

Blinker fluid replacement switch? How's about reverse muffler bearing wear indicator? Will try to post a pic on Sun. It looks factory. Thanks for the responses.

 

Don't have a 93 but if it looks like it is factory the red button is often for the 4-way flashers.

Nope...4 ways is on the dash above the ventilation controls. Thanks

 

Okay, if not the flashers and a small red button I would think maybe the alarm reset button. Does or did the car have an aftermarket alarm system. They are usually mounted under the dash but no reason they couldn't put it elsewhere.

i took a pic but being computer illiterate, I haven't yet figured out how to post it. Patience please

 

I'm actually intrigued

 

Self-Destruct button?

 

Add on parts like this only the previous owner would know. I would guess its alarm related

 

Looks to be a Valet button to a third party alarm.

 

trust me, that's not factory lol. crawl under and undo the steering column cover and see where the wires lead to

 

its some sort of aftermarket alarm component. That ****e ain't factory.

 

Thanks everyone. never having had a Lexus I just wanted to know if it was stock or not. Thanks again to all.
