Looks like an indicator lamp that a previous owner put on for something...does it light up with the ignition switch on ?

If it is an alarm, I would think it would illuminate once the alarm is set. Is there anything under the hood that looks like a small megaphone or horn?

Does the car have a Flex Compassitor?? It's a "running low" indicator. Throw a banana skin in the glove box and all is good!!

given the location I thought maybe it was connected to the muffler bearing as a monitor, because the muffler bearings are located between the cats and the mufflers

And I think it is a "flux" capacitor and mine is working fine...........

When the police are trying to pull you over and their blue lights don't work, that light comes on so you will know to pull over!!!

My 85 had a red led installed and when I replaced the panel I replaced the broken Led.
It was flashing all the time as some PO wired it to my factory alarm, I put a toggle on it so I can turn it on if I need to .
