: Stock switch in console

I have a red switch in my center console in the corner of the small box hole above the big one that fits cds and such. (in front and above the cup holders)

Does anyone else have this switch? It looks factory as hell and a pain to put in if it isnt from the factory since it is rectangular. I bought this truck last year used and have no clue what this switch does. I know I can go back there and figure out where the wires lead but that would be a p.i.t.a.

Does anyone have this, and if so, wtf does it do???

Ill try to post a pic of the switch later.

It's for the ejector seat. Seriously, I put switches in all the time that blend in. If it's red, it ain't factory. And if it's in a black panel, IIRC, that panel is nearly friction fit.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT PRESS THAT SWITCH!












Ha ha, just kidding. No idea what that is for. Do you have a compressor somewhere or inverter that you don't know about? And that console is easy to take out. Just grab and pull straight out.

Well I just yanked it out an answered my own question. It is 12v power for the trailer brake. I guess thats why nothing happened when I would press it.
-Thanks for all the responses, even the idiot responses, they were funny.
