Mystery Switch... Need More Help Solving Please

[Phatboy]

Hi guys, this has been bugging me for a while. In my R34 GTR, I have a switch located down and right from the steering wheel, underneath the driver's side air-con vent (see pic). The red light flashes when my alarm activates.

I have tried flicking the switch, without any noticeable difference, whether driving or not. I have asked this same question in the Vic forums, and no-one knows what it is, so I thought I'd get some interstate opinions. I really didn't know which forum to post this in, so I just picked the most popular one. Apologies if it's in the wrong place - mods please move if this is the case.

Things it is NOT (I have personally tested these out):

- Kill switch

- 2WD/AWD switch

- Low/hi turbo boost

- Neon switch (I have never had those eyesores)

- Airbag suspension

- Anything alarm/immobiliser related

- Fuel pump switch (stock fuel pump)

- Cheat switch (flicks on stop lights to fake out chasers on the track)

Thanks guys.

may sound stupid but have you check behind it to see if it is actually hooked up?

No one is going to answer your question because it's an aftermarket switch and could literally have 100 uses, or not be hooked up at all.

Get your head underneath the dash and see if there is wires leading to the switch, if so, what from? This will narrow it down.

Or take it to an auto electrician and tell them to find out.

haha I had a switch just like this in my old SS, the urge to press it got the better of me one day, and I managed to turn the alarm off, and neither I nor a mechanic could work out how to turn it on again. Lucky that in your case it didn't appear to do anything!

usually that is the ejector seat button....

lucky it wasn't connected.
