Dash switch question

[Dave Pen]

Does anyone know what the switch to the right of the 4x4 selector knob controls? Have an 03 Eddie Bauer edition. TIA

Your climate control or stereo???

Most likely a switch that a previous owner had installed

Post a pic so we can see what you have

The small round one the upper right of the 4x4 knob.

That is an aftermarket switch You might be able to trace the wires to see where they go
But most likely a previous owner has removed what ever the switch was for

 

[Dave Pen]

Thanks, I was hoping it was stock of some kind. I guess the previous owner also swapped out the panel to make it look stock.

Guess I'll start digging!

 

[Bedrck47]

I doubt that the panel was swapped Most likely just drilled a hole and mounted the switch.

Ok this is a true but no help response. I used to have a roommate who installed a switch like that that would turn off all the rear lights so that when he was running away from the police the rear of the vehicle would go dark. I wish it wasnt true but it is. That was long ago.

yes aftermarket switch ... I have a 2003 (not EB) & no switch there

LoL I did that once I turned off all the lights, gunned it through a residential neighborhood and in the mix of it I decided to bend my brake light switch behind the pedal so brakes don' light up either. It worked hehehe but man that was a good 15 years ago memory you just brought up.

I was looking at a Honda 305 scrambler bike I was thinking of buying back in 1970. I asked the guy selling the bike , what was the toggle switch on the taillight for, you guessed it, he said for getting away from cops!

It's Turbo-Boost.

I have an 03 EB and there is no switch there. It is aftermarket.

 

[deerhunter7979]

It probably went to a set of auxiliary lights on the front of the vehicle. That is the most common and on that owners install

My 03 E.B. 4×4 has a similar aftermarket switch as well. On mine, it is a "master" switch for a rear entertainment system that was installed by the original owner.

I LOVED everyones sarcastic answers! I so want to tell someone the truth that it is an aftermarket switch, but its "fun" to say other things too... like the turbo-boost or ejection seat! But, I thought it was for a radar jamming device!

 

[Bedrck47]

And the OP hasn't been back since

Hey, I was serious about the eject thing????

It would be nice if there was a switch like that for regular vs premium gas, to select an engine tune that was optimized for the gasoline you are running in that tank. My 2002 Polaris snowmobile has something like that, you set the keyswitch for type of gas. Premium gas give you more horsepower but don't set it for that if you run regular gas or you can muck up things.

A cut out switch for the exaust. On,wide open, closed, when you see the fuzz!
