Light ball next to the steering wheel by the door.

What is it for ? im lost can't find a way for it to light up or tell what its for
its a 2003 SR5 4runner

 

I have no idea, how about a picture.

 

It's where you plug in your curling iron.

:wabbit2:

 

The wabbit knows from experience because he likes to curl his ears

 

here is the file i think if i did this right

i was thinking it may have something to do with the tow hitch maybe to show that there power back there

 

Most likely a light to tell you the factory alarm is set when you set it and is used to help deter would-be thieves from breaking in because they can see it has an alarm, that is set.

 

it does not turn on and has no alarm wish there was a fast way to find out where it goes to

 

I've seen a lot of random lights like that in cars around town. Those were from buy here pay here places. Idk what they were for, but they put them there.

 

i was praying it was not that lol that would mean who every had it before me put some mod in it and then removed it before selling it to carmax .. but leave the light now i have to follow the wire and find out what it was for lol

any idea as to what it may have been for ?

 

All of the buy here pay here places I've seen just add in their own security feature to disable the car in case you don't pay. All they do, basically is find the wire that goes from the ignition switch to the starter and splice their box to that. I've taken a couple of them out just because I hate waiting for the beeps to start the car.

The light, I've always assumed was the receiver for the device. When you make a payment they give you a code that you type in using a little remote.

If you don't use the system then, IMO, take it out. No need for useless stuff to be wired in. But if the place you bought the car from uses it then leave it in there..might void some kind of warranty with them.

 

u was right much of been for some alarm or something

i open up the fuse box and look up seen no wire so want ahead and pulled it out not a thing connected to it now just need to find a new cover or a new used for it lol

 

Could make a clever/fake security light that blinks.

 

Not sure on the SR5, but the switch on my 2003 LTD is for the AC outlet inside the center armrest console.
