It doesn't show in my manual, that I can find at least. Tried searching but with no luck.

Oh btw, searching for "black ball above rear view" produces some interesting links !!

What the heck is it?

Well, now i'm more motivated to get my keyless to work at least!

Is the little light top right of the fab's front face intended to light up when a button is pressed?

I installed two new batteries to match the old ones and they are in the correct polarity. My little light doesn't come on.

Ok, after searching, I found that the small light on the front face IS intended to light up when the button is pressed.
New batteries but yet this fab isn't working.

For those that need it, here is a link to buy new fabs.
$49 +7 for shipping.
