located to the far left of the console. it seems to light up orange when depressed, but once depressed it cannot be deactivated. it acts like a rear defrost button. anyone?

 

Is your truck standard or Auto ? If its stick it could be the clutch override button. Lets you start the truck without pushing in the clutch.

Pics would help

 

doesn't it say "clutch start cancel" on it?

 

the button is fux0red...there's no marking on it at all.

i pressed it when the truck was already started.

i'll try and get a pic up.

 

It activates the flux capacitor.

 

I hope it doesn't look like this...

 

and how many "jigga-watts" around needed by the flux capacitor?

 

 

Looks like what's left of the Clutch Start Cancel button to me! Hit it before starting!

 

This allows you to start your truck without depressing the clutch pedal.
Just make sure the truck is in neutral first!!
Turn on the ignition switch,push the button and turn your ingnition key the remainder of the way to start the truck.

 

See I was Right. What do I win ?? Wheres my prize

 

cool i'm trying to save my clutch and this should help. a billion jiggawatt no-clutch button.

 

I think in the manual it states to only use it when you absolutely need it.

 

when would that be?

 

The manual tells you to use it when in gear to jerk the truck if you get stuck or something like that. As long as you are in neutral it's fine to use it whenever. I use mine a few times a week and I haven't had to recharge the flux capacitor yet.

 

I'll give you a dollar but you have to come get it

 

some people rig it so you have to hit it in order to start the truck as a security measure.

 

I use it to start the truck in gear when I stall on a hill while wheeling and to strat the truck out of gear when I'm not sitting in the driver's seat. Gotta be careful on this last one.

 

do you have 4wd? put it in 4lo, hit the buttom and turn the ignition. It should allow you go forward as the starter gets the engine going

 

This is exactly what it is designed for. Stalling on a steep hill makes it a pain to get going again. You sort of have to have three feet to work the brake, clutch and gas. Instead, just stick it in gear, hit the button, and turn the key.



I do this too. That's sort of a bonus feature of the clutch start cancel.
