Hi All,

I was piddling around in the fuse box the other day, and spied a toggle switch hidden in the rear of the box opening. Any clues from anyone why it might be there or it's function? I haven't traced the wires yet, but I do know they go under the driver's side of the dash. It's a 2 wire switch, black in color. What do any of you think?

It's not OE. Most like a fill switch : ignition, starter, fuel pump.

Thanks fo the info! But since the car has an alarm, isn't that overkill? Doesn't the factory alam kill power to the starter or ignition?

The factory alarm blows the horn and flashes the lights but I do not know if it disables the ignition. I've never tried it.
