It's the kickdown switch, which may or may not be enabled.

Kick down I believe.
When the 'gas' pedal' is pushed all the way down and hits the button it drops down a gear Beat me by 30 secs!!

Thanks guys. Good thing my car doesn't need it anymore. I had troubles with removing the big plastic base when I had to remove the side transmission tunnel panel to check the orange drains. I accidentally broke the switch and never got around of fixing it as it didn't affect driving the car or turn on any warning lights.

I reread parts of that other thread and noted the very very simple "check" procedure, and it works!
![]() 1. Get into car. DO NOT insert key or turn ignition on! 2. Check gear selector is still in P. Turn sidelights on, look at illuminated +/- symbols on gear surround. 3. Press accelerator pedal to the floor, those +/- symbols get brighter (and you should hear the switch click) Simples! ![]()
