If it was like the PO of my ‘84, her nephew decided to run a switch similar , but on the console as a kill switch. That as you can imagine was the first thing to leave and a complete interior refit / restoration was carried out. Good luck and keep posting your progressNow this strange push button that can be only reached after you remove the under dash panel. What is it for???? One of POs even carved a compartment for it in the foam. Will trace the wires an figure it out.
very odd. possible that it was installed outward facing originally and then a subsequent owner removed its use and turned it around?Now this strange push button that can be only reached after you remove the under dash panel.

I traced wires down to this relay. Don't have the manual yet, so no idea what that relay is.very odd. possible that it was installed outward facing originally and then a subsequent owner removed its use and turned it around?
No idea.
1- no it doesn't, will upgrade.Questions / Comments
1. Does the car have emergency hood release cables installed yet? i use aircraft wire and crimps. Have seen others use fishing leaders.
2. Not sure of auto vs manual but if auto one button may be for torque converter lockup.
3. If Auto, (if 4+3, ignore) you *may* want to update the ecu prom chip to the final GM factory update for the 85 model year, called “HLH3200”. There are a few sites in the usa that specialize in vette salvage and there are a couple in ontario. or, its possible to have a custom chip burned for you with the hlh3200 code on it. Furthermore, you may find your chip has a “hyperchip” or some aftermarket chip and that is also better than the 85 gm chips. Solves early tcc lockup which feels like “stack shifting”, smooths idle, turns an 85 into an 87 in terms of running reliably. Took me forever to solve that one.
4. If its possible to save your factory carpet, i would. Easily removeable.
As mentioned in your other thread, your colour is very unique! Ive seem some gorgeous light blue metallics with Amold factory c4 5spokes too.
Looks like it is fuel pump relay, but why would he manually override it? And why the button was hidden?I traced wires down to this relay. Don't have the manual yet, so no idea what that relay is.
Pretty certain now after following this, that the PO installed a kill switch. These were a kind of home made security to prevent someone driving off with the car and were quite popular to install at one time.Looks like it is fuel pump relay, but why would he manually override it? And why the button was hidden?
remarkably clean and complete for $2000. other than the bubba wiring the only thing i see is your valve covers on on ghe side.Engine bay
I believe it is indeed fpr.Looks like it is fuel pump relay, but why would he manually override it? And why the button was hidden?
a comment here, maybe it applies to more than old c4’s, but u r likely dealing with layers of bubba here from multiple owners. u may never make sense of it. aim for factory operationI would think so, but it is normally open pushbutton, and it jumps normally open relay contacts, looks like it is there to activate fuel pump, bypassing the relay for whatever reason. And most confusing - why was it hidden inside the panel? I would've never found it if I didn't pull the panel and it was just sitting there inside that pocked, which was manually carved out.
thats under the carpet, under driverside seat. its from improper jacking on a lift. usually. if its a big rock u would see forward damage. lifting damage very common. the pads are to go under the pinch welds, where it is labelled jack point.Cross member behind driver seat is damaged, and brake line routing doesn't look very safe.
