What's this Extra button next to Ignition Key area for?
I and my wife are new owners of a 2017 Spyder F3 SE6 Limited and noticed there is an extra button on the right side of the ignition key area. I looked in the manual and a picture of that area shows a button on the "left" side for the heated handgrips but a "blank" area on the right side. It is a factory button for sure that lights up and looks like the icon on it is that of a power symbol. The previous owner had no idea what it was for.
Anyone have any ideas what this button is meant for?
TIA,
Dennis and Myriam Bagwell

I checked but this one does not have fog lights. It has blanks where the fog lights would fit, round plastic dummy inserts, but no fog lights.
Could it be perhaps they could be added and the switch is already there?
Just weird if that's the case.

I'm surprised that there is a switch ..... The wiring for the Fog lights is in your harness though ..... all that's the most important part ..... Mike

When you buy the fog light package it comes with the switch and the button insert. I have had fogs put on my two RT versions. The F3's were L's...so they came with the fog lights already installed.
EDIT: I stand corrected on the F3L's. They did NOT come with fog lights. I also had them installed...at the dealer...before delivery. No extra hardware was required for install.

Maybe yours did....my F3L did not come with the fog lights OR the switch. There was a 'filler' plug in the questioned spot but I managed to lose it. Don't ask....
2020 F3L; gone but not forgotten are all the good miles!

Thanks for all the input. I took the side panel off, which houses the fog light filler plug and there is no wiring there. I suppose they put the power switch there, just in case.

I just ordered a garage door opener for mine they said that would work perfect, got it from slingshot,

Can you post a picture of the button?

I wired that button for the Passenger Ejection Seat.
-
I just installed the garage door opener, works great, there were wires attached to the back of the blank switch I assume they go to fog lights which I dont have. What would I do if i wanted to add fog lights with the garage door opener?
