I was cleaning and checking some fuses on my 1992 245 and noticed a small silver toggle switch located behind the Fuse box towards the floor...can someone tell me what it is for?

Thanks -

Maybe a kill switch for the starter circuit? Have one on a couple of my vehicles. Flip it, and see if it will start...

My '94 Wrangler has two(2) of them! The first one sets off the horn, the other I'm afraid to switch, I followed the wires and I might get electrocuted. I dont think it's the heated seats! Put some cotton in your ears and try it.

Ya' know I found a switch like that like that above the fuse cover on a '90 244DL we bought about a year ago. The PO had added it, and it actuated an INCREDIBLY loud siren. Sounds just like a cop's siren. I gave the car to our 17 y/o son. Needless to say, I removed the siren first.

By the way, if anybody WANTS such a thing, I'll trade it for some small center caps that fit Corona wheels. I'll throw in some other parts if the caps are in decent shape.

You're kidding, right?

I think it's the self-destruct button.

When i bought it there was a toggle switch on the dash with a plastic surround on it that said "Ejector Seat". The guy i bought it from(and got way ripped off) said he didn't know what it really was(he was selling the car for his brother or something). A few months later, while driving at night, one of my friends flipped it, and i thought i saw my lights get brighter, sure enough, it was the switch for my brights... Now it now longer has that toggle, but a lighted one. Anyone in need of a cool Ejector seat toggle? I'll be bringing it to the IPD garage sale... =D later guys,

Can't be. Those are always "big 'wed buttons."
