If it's off the left side, the red button at the bottom activates the four-way flashers for a hazard warning.

Bugg, It is doubtful anyone can answer you on the red button... that thing was added and didn't come from Kaw I think. The button most likely is for your horn as I suspect the original horn button died and someone spliced that thing in. The way you check is to open the switchgear and look to see what it is wired to. Only the horn makes sense to me but if someone was... errrr inventive? enough to make this mod, who knows what they were thinking.

I just took the parts I needed from it and didn't end up using the whole assembly, so if anyone else needs it they're welcome to it
