Hi everyone! I was changing some fuses the other day on my firebird and I noticed a toggle switch next to the fuses in the fuse box. Whats that for? Thanks.

 

Nothing that came from the factory, thats for sure. It could be one of many things. Could be a kill-switch to prevent theft (but that woudl be a bad place to put one). Could be a remote started enable/disable switch. Could be an alarm on/off switch. Could be a manual radiator fan switch. Could be a remote amplifier on/off switch. Could be a fog lamp switch. Could be dozens of other things.

Take some pictures of it and its wiring and post them up. Take a look at where the wires for the switch lead to. Thats the best way to find out what its for.

 

How bout just flick it on and off and see what turns on and off

 

wouldnt happen to have neons on it?

 

haha..no neons..last nite, i toggled it and the engine wouldnt start. So i assuming its a cutoof switch? But then i flipped back and the engine still wouldnt start. Then i shifted thru the gears and back to P and then it started. Weird cut off switch or something else?

play with your alarm (key fob) if you have one. i found a small switch under there and it was a valet switch. no trunk access, no alarm beep, etc.
