Blank on kick panel under ignition, what's it for?

Looks like a good place to mount my Tekonsha Primus brake controllet. Anyone see any potential problems?

It's not an actual blank, but a pad for your keys to bang against. It's a softer material and you'd have to cut it out. I have my doubts that it's void behind the space as well considering it's so close to the seem in the panel.

I thought the same, pos location for a switch. But yes the keys will bumb it when driving. You can remove it with a screwdriver. Just 2 small holes behind it that hold the rubber posts from the pad.

Thanks guys!

This is a good example of why this is such a great forum. You are right that my keys would get in the way, especially if I needed to brake the trailer in an emergency.

BigEZ, you were right about being able to remove it with a screwdriver, pretty cool feature actually.

Not sure what Pathfinder you have but most likely the blanks are for heated seats and hill decent control.

To the left of the wheel if you zoom in you can see the blank buttons and the stick is covering the other ones you cant see in the picture
