Orange switch?

justjepn · May 12, 2016

Hello everyone, new to this forum but not new to performance vehicles. Just sold my Jeep SRT8 and picked up a 2004 Reg Cab SRT 10 truck up here in Canada.

What is the orange switch to the left of the steering wheel on the dash? Also since I just got the vehicle and work at a Chrysler dealer...what should I get my mechanics to look for when they give it a once over?

Thanks in advance.

In Germany we have to add an orange Switch for a fog-taillight.
Maybe you have something similar in Canada.

I see that you are new here; but it is forbidden to even speak of THE ORANGE SWITCH.

Do not, I repeat, do not ever use the ORANGE SWITCH. That switch was specifically installed when you exceed 154 mph and need to eject. Only those trucks equipped with a sun roof should even have the dreaded ORANGE SWITCH activated. Please be very careful.

And welcome to the nut house. :burnout:

No orange switch in Canada. Don't touch it though if you like your truck, bad things will happen

Hahaha, I was thinking maybe he was referring to the red button but it's on the other side

I guy I knew once was dumb enough to touch that god damn curse... Let's just say it wasn't pretty. God knows why Chrysler even thought that was a good idea, I'm surprised these never got an immediate recall.

It was clearly the self destruct button.

DON'T ASK!! Once you know, it never goes away

What side of the truck is your steering wheel on, right or left? That might explain why the button is left of the wheel.

trussman · May 26, 2016

It must have been a self destruct switch. No response since original post... R.I.P. brother.
