Steering column mystery button.

Post by BigScottyUK »

Mmm. It’s on the steering column (87 1.6TD JX).
It’s not connected to anything.
It’s a mystery.
Any ideas anyone?

I’m sure I can see the remnants of a sticker that said “ DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON”

^^^^WHS - I can read horn in one pen with an added y in black, presumably someone did a quick fix for a non- working horn push for the MoT test and later fixed the problem.

Yep, I reckon it’s an additional horn button. I’m searching the internet for musical air horns now
