What is this switch? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Can anyone tell me what the red switch is for? The one to the right of trunk switch. It came from the dealer this way but I couldn't figure out what the heck it's for. It'll light up when pressed but nothing happens. Perhaps the fog-light switch before they replaced with LED strip? The lowest switch is for LED strip btw.

I don't see why they would put fogs, then replace them with led DRLs. Take the panel off its really simple and see where wires go.

That's where my parking brake bypass is. It's Def custom. Need to open it up to know. It's easy to do. I have like 30+ times. Might go to nothing now.

That is not an OEM switch. So ask whomever you bought it from.

Nos button. It's a TRD upgrade.

Seriously though, not OEM (as the person above me said). Either open it up and follow the wires or press it (maybe not while driving).

That should be the button for the Scion Premium Security System. The dealer should have given you an instructional pamphlet showing you how to operate it.
