Default What is this thing?!

Just like the title says, Anyone seen one of these before? It has 2 black buttons and a red button between them.(each button has a letter next to it but since its dark out I cant tell what they are right now) I have pushed all 3 buttons with the car on and with it off but still have no idea what it does. I traced the cord as far as I could but only found a connector that leads up into the dash....






Thats all the further the cord will come out from under the dash and i can hardly get my hand up in there to see where it goes. Anyone know what this could possibly be? Any input would be great

Maybe a valet switch or panic button for an aftermarket alarm?

It could have had an aftermarket alarm before i bought the car... that might be it.

Its in my 98 Trans Am and it doesnt have halo's but maybe it used to have a set of fog lights that needed that switch?

Yea i know my car is extremely dirty I havnt had a chance to really get in there and give her a good detail in a long time.

Like someone suggested Ive pushed them all and i couldnt notice anything happening. I cant get ahold of the previous owner either.

It surprises me that only XtremeDude37 has seen this before
