the one looks like a push button or something like for under the brake pedal or something

If it's for an alarm like the relays look like they are, that's the valet switch turn turn off the alarm if you can't find the alarm remote. You press ad hold the button while turning the key on and it turns off the alarm.


It's possible though that it's not alarm related. You'll have to follow the wiring and see where it goes

Welcome! This gen Denali is an awesome ride! However it’s not a traditional 4WD vehicle. It’s an all wheel drive system so you’re in all wheel drive all the time. There’s no way to disengage it! Makes for great handling though! And it’s quite capable in less than ideal weather conditions!

^^^yep relays and small push button are for a aftermarket alarm, the tuner box is for a aftermarket stereo/dvd/game input system

as far as doors not locking with lights on, there are some variables involved for instance is the key in the ignition and door open? if so that could be a feature of the aftermarket alarm to prevent a lockout situation but I think that is a factory feature. anyway it could be related to the alarm you may want to stop by a stereo/alarm shop and ask one of the technicians some people like things programmed a certain way for instance I have mine set to unlock only when I shut off the key

I'm pretty sure all Denali's are all wheel drive only. You sure you have a real Denali or did someone swap tranny's?
