I'm trying to clean up this absolute birdsnest of wires underneath the steering column, there is this plug that's got about 9 terminals on it under there with nothing attatched to it, it looks aftermarket because some of the wires going to it have been scotch locked, but some of the wires go to that orange button just next to the power mirror switch, anyone know what the plug is for, or what the orange button is supposed to do? Thanks. Oh yeah its a calais too.

cruise control (I think)

its the self destruct button

so how are we sopose to know what it is if you dont post up a picture of it? a picture can tell a 1000 words...

Only Orange Coloured button is the Cruise Control switch rest are Black.

So it's got two cruise switches then? It's already got one just underneath the wiper switches with 3 buttons on it. Then it's got this other one just to the right of the mirror control button. It's this round orange button, it's just 2 stage, either in or out, it looks factory so I thought some of your cars might have it, but maybe its not after all.

Yeah, it's not the electric window iscolator, that one's there too. Sounds like it must be aftermarket. How do I post up pics?

man follow the wires, see where they go

Yeah, I followed all the wires, they're scotch locked onto the blue wires running underneath the steering column, it's not factory and whatever it once did, it doesn't do any more so I've just gotten rid of it

only orange buton i can think of is power button that is on the shifter

Its the NOS button.

Dont press it, its the ejector seat button

What YOU DONT JUST PRESS THE BUTTON !!!!
