I was just wondering if any of you have a little red light
on the top of the steering column just in front of the gauges
and if so, what's it for?
I'm new to the group and I haven't seen that many Miatas
up close and personal but I don't think I've seen any others
with this light.
Maybe an alarm beacon? A brake failure warning light?
Or is it just an addition made by the previous owner?
Just wondering...

Probably an alarm led, is it on only when the doors are locked?

No, as a matter of fact, I've never seen it lit.

This is probably for an aftermarket alarm system. Neither my 95 or my
05 or any other Miata I have seen have a light there -

Well, you've got me stumpped.
I was never told about an alarm and I haven't seen
anything that even looks like a security system.

Some people install a blinky light in an attempt to fool thieves into
thinking there's an alarm. When the battery dies, so does the light.
