Name that Button!!

Hi Guys,

Yesterday my wife and I purchased a really nice 99 Expedition 5.4L E.B. edition. We love it, but there is one button that we dont know what it does. It's located on the center of the dash, off to the right of the radio and below a A/C vent. Closer to the passenger side.

This switch is just labeled ON/OFF. I did notice that when switched ON, it makes the radio get more quiet and fuzzy.

Any ideas??? We did not get an owners manual with the vehicle.

Thanks

Bob

It doesn't sound factory. For an electronic copy of your owner's manual go to www.fordvehicles.com and register for "My Ford". After you register, login and look at the array of green bars on the left side of the page. There, you will find a bar labeled (something like) "References and Resources" Click it. You will then find an Adobe .pdf file labeled "Owner's Guide" You need to have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to read the file.

For a hard copy: www.helminc.com

BTW: Did the seller give you the five-digit code for the keypad under the driver's door handle?

Probably a hookup for some foglights or something - I'd investigate further before messing with it.

It could be for an FM Modulator. That's why the radio gets "fuzzy" unless your on the proper channel.
