I have a small black button under the driver side of the dash too, I figured it was just something to do with the cops 'cause I have a b4c but if some of you have it too maybe it's an option? or coincidence?

Wife's FWindstar has a button up behind the glove compartment. It's for setting new door clickers to match the alarm and door locks.

the button is actually for shock-installed systems. called "anti-passenger protection" when the passenger irritates u enough (i.e. plays with ur stereo, touches the wrong part of ur dashboard, etc.) simply depress the APP button and it fries the passenger.

The button is for valet bypass for the viper alarm...you guys are a riot...thanks for all the razzing!!!

You guys have that little button all wrong.... some guy with a great sense of humor probably installed it just so that curiose bastards (like myself) will pull their hair out trying to figure out what the hell it does. Either that or it's a "rear tire deflator" for better traction.....
