WTH is this little button for?
Okay there is a little metal button with a black plastic cap that is facing down next to the brake pedals... there are two wires connected to it that are connected to something up in the column i believe. I saw it today while looking up into the steering column... just wondering.

Or, snip the wires, see what stops happening, and you're set.
