You pic isnt working, but here ya go...

Thats definitely an aftermarket switch though...could be for anything...anything electrical aftermarket installed on your truck?

Thanks for helping with the picture. And not that I no of. I bought it used from the dealer and never noticed til now. I was gonna trace out the wiring to try and see what its for.

Thats a weird looking switch... time to trace some wires!

Back in high school I went to a dealer and test drove a lifted Chevy truck. Around here dealers just throw a dealer tag on the truck and hand ya the keys and let you drive it without the salesman there with ya. So I took it for a spin, I noticed a switch on the dashboard and wondering what it was I flipped it. The truck died right there. I called the dealer pissed off cause I was broke down. Turns out the switch was a kill switch, lol...the dealer didn't even know that it was installed.

Ya that's interesting. I got curious and hit mine but nothing seems to happen.

possibly a valet switch for an aftermarket alarm system? It's so the alarm and junk doesn't go off and stuff when they valet it.

Ray1500G · Aug 13, 2012

^^^any way to check and know for sure?

Zachohs · Aug 13, 2012

no idea, I was just checking out some aftermarket alarms the other day and saw that feature so I googled it, they say to put them in an unseen or not obvious place

Does your truck have remote start?

Honestly haven't thought to check. On my old truck I had to hit unlock three times should be the same right?

maybe a switch for the remote wire for an amp? does it look like your truck had an amp/sub at some point? trace the wires and see where they go. that'll tell you everything.

Ray1500G · Aug 13, 2012

I'll trace them out in the morning and get back to you guys with what I find

BlackedOutHemi · Aug 13, 2012

Sounds good! I was asking because my truck has an aftermarket remote start, and the switch under the dash turns off the remote start.

So here's what I found its hooked up to couldn't really see where else. Looks like some type of controller maybe?

TexasRammer · Aug 16, 2012

hmm with all those wires I would guess its for an alarm system... but im not positive
