Ok let me just figure out how to send pics ... Btw there is also a small solar panel attached to the rear shelf think it might have something to do with it

Sorry mate missed the bit where you said it was solar lol

Solar pannel probably there to provide a trickle of power to battery as the car probably spent a lot of time being parked up and not used

That would actually make sense it was parked for a while just trying to figure out this mystery red button now lol

Solar pannel on / off ?

Solar pannel on / off ?

Ye it must be there's just no way of telling the solar panel constantly flashes blue sounds like the most realistic thought so far though cheers

Find where wires from solar pannel go and with a meter see if it switches when that switch is switched.

You may also be able to see voltage go up at battery when switched this would indicate it's putting voltage in instead of taking it as any appliance would and would then suggest it is for the solar pannel
