Can you post a picture of the button?

I'm lost on the cleaning part. Are you asking about baking the car, like in an oven?

The button sounds like the switch to tell you that you left the emergency brake on(light on the dash)

Yea it could be the high beam switch, forgot about that since most cars have that on the turn signal anymore. You should have said on the floor big round switch, that's the dimmer switchOh well the beer is going down too quick tonight. Iv'e had three in 40 minutes.Been working in my shed tonight moving tires and a hood around and got hot and now I putting them Down Quick!

Baking is okay been there done that, its a hell of a lot of after work to sand the panels as after they bake they pressure wash the loose off and the car looks bad.

If i did mine today i would soda blast every time

This is what you get with a baked body

Get it soda blasted, plain and simple. That body of mine was justy baked, not dipped after. I had some components dipped and now wish that i hadnt as the acid is leaching out and messing my paint after 3 years. No matter how much you clean you never get all the acid out
