Mystery switch
Hi all I'm a noob here. I just inherited a 86 GXL and am trying to figure out what the small rocker switch on the left side of steering column does. It looks factory but maybe not. Any Ideas?
TIA!
Brian

I'd have to say Fuel cut as well. I installed one in my previous 7...just fits so well on the left side.

He may have been afraid it's the seat ejection switch. Those aren't any fun!

All joking aside, I'd say try it out, and see if it kills your car when you flip it.

There is no rocker switch on the left or right side of the steering column from the factory. Fuel cut. Amp turn-on. Master kill. Hot-wired wiper switch. Any of those are probably what it is.
