Is there an aftermarket stereo in your car? A lot of people have switches like that for amps and such.

does it have a aftermarket alarm, I see alot of cars that w/aftermarket alarms you have to do domething funny to start the car like hold down a button,flash the high beams,put on a signal light, Flip it and try to start the car. I can only really see it being a security function or a lighting switch, do you see any mounting or any evedence of aftermarket neons or underbody lighting. Good luck in finding out.. If everything is good now you could just tuck it up the dash and forget about it..

There is not aftermarker stereo (expet the one I put in) And there was no evidence of underglow(exept the one I put in. Thats how I found it.) And as far as I can see there is no aftermarket alarm either. Just the factory one. I will go and flip it and see what it does. I will post later and give you a verdict.

Ok, so I flipped the switch while driving and also while sitting still and also with it off and it doesn't do anything(or at least I can't tell if it's doing anything.) So i guess it is ok. Who knows, maybe it's a self destruct button.[&:]
