What Is The Red Button?
At the very bottom of the instrument panel is a red button, its next to the steering column and is wired all the way down to the upper part of the transmission and rear drive shaft. There are two wires that look like they connect to it but I have no idea what its for?

Shouldn't be. The dentsides came with automatic oilers whereas the bumpsides were still manual.

Never, never push the red button unless it is your absolute last resort. It activates the Bat Phone.

Jeez, don't push the RED BUTTON!! It will turn your truck into an 85' Silverado!!!! All joking aside, I don't think our trucks came with a push button under the dash. Can you trace the wires coming from it?

But Seriously:
from the description the OP gave I would guess the PO was trying to make the reverse lights work....
