What's this square button for?

I can't find any connector to connect to this square button under left-hand side of steering column cover. What's it for?

Here is process you use that "Easy Button" for on 91-93 Alfa 164:

Here is the process you follow on 94-95 models, but no easy button you use accelerator pedal instead:

I notice you have easy button steering column fairing with a 94-95 seat underneath it. Is this fairing off a 94-95 model or 91-93 model?

In Europe this used to be the button to open the "refuel"panel.
This was used, I think from '87 to '90.Then, with a new interior, and new switches all over the car, this switch moved to the centerconsole.

It is a 94 164LS.

This is the right side round push button. It does have a two-wire connection. I don't remember what it is for too.

self diagnostic button. Possibly some one replaced it with a 1991-1993 cover.
No wires to it?

Or yes?

Thank you everyone. As said I can't find the wire to the square button. I will probably use it for Rocket Launcher for 008 agent duty or

How about this Italian Air Horn: Freight Train Is Coming...

The square button, when it was still in use:An 1988 Twinspark.


Often the button was hit getting in or out of the car, leaving the fuellid open.
Mostly the reason why they relocated it.
