Strange switch

[B-McD]

It's not well hidden but maybe it's an ignition kill switch from an aftermarket alarm? The old "hidden in plain sight" trick!

I figured out the door code. Thanks! I don't see anything aftermarket in this Expy. I don't see anywhere that something was mounted. I'm not willing to pull the dash. My best guess is an aftermarket alarm that he took with him when he traded in. But why bother with a switch for that?

Unless you follow the wires, we'll never know.

I once had a friend who added a switch to the handlebars on his crotch rocket. It killed the lights on the back of his bike for those times when he was running away from the Police. He was a piece of work. Stopped riding after his big crash.

Was going to buy a 305 Honda scrambler that had similar. This guy did it easy, he put a toggle switch on the taillight. Probably screw up the fuel injection or something trying to do that today.

Maybe he put it in just to make the next buyer wonder what the heck it was for .

Had one in my Porsche. It cut the tail and brake lights.

Run my dual sported XR650R that way.

Why is it on motorcycles? I remember back in the 70's, was riding on a Saturday night here in San Francisco. 4 of us riding are bikes crazy as always, 2 cop cars chasing us towards the steepist hill in SF. Kearny street above Broadway, a 40 percent grade, with steps on the side to walk down.1 block long. We got away, but my friend Dave had an SFPD reach out and missed his shoulder by inches. 2 of us went towards the Broadway tunnel, the other 2 hit the freeway back to Daly City. We were scamps in those days!

Will the trim piece around it not pop out or do you have to do more to pop it out?
Can't you look up behind dash with bright light to see what wires go to it?

Any evidence of add on fog or driving lights? Have you checked to see it it has any affect on the driving lights when the high beams are on?

A lot of people want to be able to have driving lights on WITH high beams and few vehicles allow that.

A lot of people seem to put switches for amp for stereos too.
I don't get that.
Don't all modern amps have a built in switch that turns it on when stereo comes on??
