Button under hood

I have this button under the hood near the driver side headlight. I have never been able to figure out what it does and was hoping someone could tell me.

I'm guessing some sort of alarm thing but what I have the alarm on and open the hood nothing happens so I'm not sure.

Pease tell me what this darned contraption is???

if its a rubber round button then that is what the front of the hood rests on. you can turn it to adjust the height. you should have one on both sides if we are talking about the same thing.

it's called a hood switch. it's part of the theft warning system. if you have an esm, consult page 277 in the electrical section.

set your alarm with your hood popped. after a while, your alarm should go off.

the button is a horsepower button - the more you push it the more horsepower your engine gets - just spend like a saturday or sunday just pushing the button all day and then take it for a spin , watch how fast your car is afterwards-
