Default 1993 civic help

Hi I am new to this forum. I came here for a little help. I bought a 1993 honda civic dx sedan about 6 months ago from a dealer. There is this little red lcd (or led?) light on my dash next to my rear window defogger button. All it is is a little light, there is nothing written/labeled on it. When I bought the car it didnt come with the manual. I have never really known what it is, but it lit up tonight and I dont know what it is. My car seems to be running fine and there no check engine lights on or anything.
All help is appreciated

Steve

EDIT: Heres what it looks like

Does it stay on constantly or does it blink? Is it on while the engine is running or only after you have shut the engine off?

I have the same exact car and I don't have that light, it must be aftermarket. I would have to agree that it is probably an alarm. Either that or an led to make someone think it has an alarm.
