What does this switch do?

Sorry i dont know how to put pictures on here. There is a red switch under the last 2 guages on the right(where it shows the battery, gas and oil). I have no idea what it is but i know it isn't a line lock or nitrous.

There isn't a turbo on it and it looks like it fits there.

Just so you know. When you reply or create a thread you can go to "advanced" and you'll see a paperclip option. Click on this and you can browse your PC for a pick to include in your post. Or you can add a pick via a URL by clicking on insert image option.

Yeah I wish my car had a turbo. But when the car is at idle and I flick it it doesn't do anything.

Re: What does this switch do?

well, just a random guess, though it appears it is not functioning, i would guess it was a cooling fan or aux light switch.

Re: What does this switch do?

I had a random switch in my car it may be a kill switch turn off your car and try starting it with the switch in both on and off positions.

Re: What does this switch do?

could be a switch for an aftermarket alarm, my python has a switch and a button that i mounted under the dash by the kick panel. Or maybe it turns on the flux capacitor... flip it and try going 88mph....

Since it's on the right my guess is that it's the passenger eject button. Don't flip the switch on the right though......that's the driver eject switch.
