weird??

Did it have a key hole? The older Chapman alarms had weird looking setups like that. Might've been one of those.

button

Maybe it's a starter switch of some kind--maybe the ignition switch is messed up where it won't start the conventional way. I've seen that setup before--where you still need to put the key in, but you have to push the button to start it.
