I found a toggle switch and I'm not sure what it's for...

Today I tried to scan my car for an SES code. While I was looking for the DLS I came across a toggle switch located right below the DLS. Is this something that's in all Camaros, or is it something that could could have been installed by a previous owner? When I first saw it I was hoping that it was a manual fan switch, but it's not very easy to access while driving, so I doubt that's what it is.

Perhaps a master alarm switch?

When I bought the car it had an after market alarm system installed. Maybe it has something to do with that.

some people put a toggle switch that killed power to the starter relay or fuel pump and extra insurance that someone would not drive off with there car
