WTF iS THAT!!!!???
I opened my center console and pushed the gas door open butten and I noticed, near the inside left rear corner of the open console, a small plastic cover that looked like it might be a cigarette lighter socket cover. I removed the cover and inside was a tiny black button. WTF is that? I dared not push it-what if its an ejection seat trigger? All kidding aside, what does pushing that butten do? I have no idea and I've never seen anything in my owners manual that explains it. I posted a similar post the other day and it was removed--sorry, I mentioned a gas station and its fuel prices, I must have been in violation. I certainly enjoy "Corvette Forum", will stay within the rules and appreciate the many great answers I've gotten already.
Thanks in advance,
HP

A pic would definitely help... near the rear of that compartment, I don't recall any buttons. There are two plastic covers that cover the bolts (which are also black). Are you sure it's a button?
