my 260 has that switch as well and I'm 90% sure that it's a reset button. What it resets I don't know..... I have the factory service manual, I;ll have to check it out when i get home. I never thought to look it up until now and reading this post has given me the "got to knows"

I went to garage to find out more...No luck. Two of those wires are cut and sealed with tape. The switch is connected with same kind of plugs as all the electric equipment so it looks like original more than aftermarket item...There are plenty of other electrical stuff near that switch. Relays...

There is also this palstic cover which has two wires under it making just a turn....I bet that those are ment to be quick switches too... Because the cover says ign and batt...So when you plug of these wires there wont be any power going thru....

Chiltons big book is not too specific... There is an emergency switch on wiring diagrams.. It is connected to ign, central lock and neutral switch...So is it in fact a emergency switch that goes off/locks if you turn ignition when car has a gear in!!? So you have to shift to neutral before you start the car? And maybe you even have to have your seatbelt on!!

I don't know, it's driving me nutz, and yes, it is in that exact location by the battery.

It does appear to be OEM equip.

I'm glad someone else has the damn thing also.

The plot thickens....

Well, I can say there is one thing that it doesn't do...

It doesn't show up on the Microfiche in the electrical section:cross-eye

Might it have been a dealer add-on?

There's just something totally awesome about a red button that says PUSH.

I love it.

yes Mike,

It beckons all who gaze upon it.

My early 260Z had it. It is to bypass the safety interlock for your seatbelt/transmission in neutual or it won't start system that some of the cars had then. The system was crap and they quit installing them. Someone had to push and hold the button while a second person started the car if the safety went to crap.

Mine went the way of the trash can a couple of months ago.

Can u stop pressing it now it is turning off the lights here

What would be even more freaky is if it were a big red shiney button saying "Dont Push"

ROFL

I don't think you're understanding the double entendre bud. What has a nice red button on top of it that is a pleasure to push, or do whatever with? Think about the boob reference. Yeh, thats it.
