What is this light for?
My 91 has what looks like a red light mounted in the console between the power seat controls. I thought some previous owner had added it for what ever. I just saw one one on eBay with the exact same deal! Is this a factory deal and what is it?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have a similar one on the left side of the steering column, infront of the gauges. Untill I disconnected it, it would flash when the alarm was armed.

I wired my LED, to a SuperBright LED, and put it in the DIC, behind the SECURITY word, so, now when I arm my alarm, SECURITY flashes on the dash. Pretty neat little trick.

I have one that's about 2 inches ahead of yours, right below the shifter boot. It never does anything and I don't want to go hunting for wires. I figured it was an aftermarket alarm system form the past and I just ignore it.

Its the rare OEM " Late Payment Light ". These were installed when people with questionable credit bought one of these cars.

There is a sensor in the passenger seat that can detect pheromones and body weight. If it detects a female over 119lbs it will disable the motor. It is a safety device for if you are at a bar and pick up a fat chick.

I thought that was part of the remote VATS

Most likely a blinking led to make people think you have a better alarm then the factory.

It's a "Murphy Laws" light. It starts blinking just before your Corvette is about to go to hell in a hand basket..... costing you as much $ as possible at the worst possible time. Mine goes off all the time.
