Today I replaced the old shift boot with a nice leather one. When removing the old one, I found inside the shifter bay a pair of thin wires with a red LED light- and then of course noticed the little hole in the Plastic piece where the light was supposed to be. It had a bunch of electrical tape on it -like someone tried to mount the light by taping it in place, but it didnt hold.
Anyone know what this LED is for? I thought maybe for the alarm, but the LED never turned on (although the original owner installed a Viper alarm and it has its own red light, so maybe it was for the "Original" alarm?)
By the way - if anyone has the original cheap-o shift boot that is worn and ripped like mine was, the real leather ones look absolutely great and are pretty easy to install - just need some contact cement and 15 minutes of free time! Improves interior look 100%!
