Question Unknown switch

Hey guys, i went out and bought a 87 GXL on the weekend and while looking through it i found a switch that is about 3/8" long and pure black, i cant come up with what it would be for. Any suggestions or geusses would be helpfull as i have played with it and havent noticed a thing :S

The picture i have isnt of my car so it wont show the switch, but it is exactly in that location in my car. i had to dig one up on short notice so to whoevers i used thanks lol.

Question Unknown switch

Hey guys, i went out and bought a 87 GXL on the weekend and while looking through it i found a switch that is about 3/8" long and pure black, i cant come up with what it would be for. Its right behind the E-brake on the side of the center console. Any suggestions or geusses would be helpfull as i have played with it and havent noticed a thing :S I have a picture showing roughly where it is, but i need someone to host it

Is this a push button switch or toggle switch??? It is mounted to the side of the console??

Sounds aftermarket, like for an aftermarket security system.

or maybe fog lights if your car has them on the front.

Sorry about the threads, i kept getting time out error messages. Its a switch, and no its not a fuel pump kill switch, unless whoever did it decided to mount two I have one mounted next to the led for the stock security system.

If the sun roof opens quickly, GET OUT OF THE SEAT.
I saw that in a movie once!

Lol
I don't think many people, much less seats, can fit through the RX-7 sunroof.

If it's on the side of the console, it's not factory. You'll have to follow its wires to see where they go.
