Default Red led light near the gas pedal - what's it for?

Hi,

I just got a 1989 Cabriolet. I can't find anything that tells me what the red led light is for; down near the gas pedal, mounted in a square plastic formed protrusion from what looks like the bottom of the hear/radio control console.

It seems to flicker on and off - sort of like a radio reception indicator, but about 1.5 feet below the radio - seem strange.

Regards,
-Brent

I am thinking that it is a dummy alarm light. i have seen those go bad and sort of just blink whenever. best way to see is pull the panel and trace where the wire goes. does not sound likke a stock light.
