    I was checking my E brake cable to make sure it was still on the roller wheel track under the dash and saw this button. Antony know what it’s for? thanks!

    Can't say I ever had to fuss with that when I had my first gen.

    Oh It's a tradition here on TW as the default answer to this question

    That's right on the E-brake handle, correct?

    Pretty sure that's just tells the truck that the e-brake is off.

    Push it and see if your brake light goes off on your dash.

    But just in case it's the ejector seat button, try to steer clear of the passenger seat.

    That's the switch that triggers the brake light on the dash to stay on when the parking brake is engaged
