is it a light that comes on when you plug in a phone charger or anything like that?

I don't think it is a factory install. It's probably something someone added.

im tellin you that has got to be something for an aftermarket alarm. maybe you dont have an alarm anymore but i got that in my 92 stang and i dont have an alarm. previous owner took it out and left that lite. thats the let you know or a car thief that the car has an alarm and that its set. i may be wrong but im almost possitive it has to do with an anti theft system

i have a 1995 mustang GT and that light is not stock. it is aftermarket. probably an alarm like everyone has been saying. open ur hood and look for like a siren screwed on to the fenderwell. if you cannot see one then that means there isn't an alarm anymore. i bet they took it out before selling car. but you cannot take out light because there would be a hole and would decrease the value.
