Default What is this dash switch for?
Here's a picture of a mysterious switch that doesn't seem to control anything that I can tell. Could someone tell what it does?



I have no owners manual and couldn't find any info on the internet.

This appears to be an aftermarket rear sliding window switch. so do you have a power sliding rear window?

Yeah.... not a factory switch.

Could be a window, power seat, pedals? Hard to tell from here.

I have a solid rear window. I reckon it could be aftermarket.

The best we can tell you is to follow the wires and see where it ends up.

yup! the grass rats hauling their trailers open up them headers as they're repositioning to their next mow to impress the folks having lunch at the local biker bar.

You're all wrong. It controls the flux capacitor polarity reversal diodes.
