please read and help me

hi, i was driving my 90 gxl home from school today when my friend found a switch coming out of the carpet in the back. i just baught the car a couple of weeks ago and didnt know what it was. the switch said on and off. my friend turns it on and then the car died and there was a loud sound from the trunk. the car wouldnt start until it was done. i look at the switch and it says 3/4 hp vaccuum(sp lol). what is this? the car ran different afterwards, when it started. my guess is a vaccuum in the fuel tank because afterwards my fuel gauge went up half the distance it was down. any ideas what it is?

a lot of times when we buy our cars second-handed we don`t know what we are getting into. When I got mine it had two ground wires and one positive for the battery.

check your car with someone you trust(check the electrical very important), `cause right now you are blind folded. You don`t know what the other owner did to the car before you.
