Mystery toggle switch
 
There's a small toggle switch just outside of the footwell on my 930 Slant. I don't know what it's for or what it's connected to, and it's always been in the "up" postion. Today it was midway between up and down, and I guess that's when I started having the boost problem. Is this toggle switch connected to my boost controller or something else?

Here's a photo. Sorry it's dark, I couldn't get enough light in the photo, and I put it back to the "up" position:

That's the switch to the p*ssy magnet. They made them extra strong in '87. The parts are NLA. Use judiciously.

Awesome, but are you sure it's not a switch that turns the cab into a coupe for the times when one wants a "man's" car?! http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/mo...king-moony.gif

That's funny, but I really want to know what that switch is for :p

Well it isn't factory so you will need to pull the cover loose and trace the wires.

You got aftermarket Amp or Alarm? It's definitely not stock...

My car does have an aftermarket alarm system, but I tried moving the switch with the key in the ignition and nothing happens.

Both, actually. But it doesn't seem to affect the alarm system. It's been in the "up" position since I bought the car, and today it was halfway down, which was also when my boost problem started, which I wrote in a separate thread if you want to read it.

After Burner Option 1215 offered in 87. Use with caution.

That's the take off switch, it only engages at 350MPH so don't worry...

Now seriously, if you follow those purple w/green connector wires might take you there because those wires are not OEM either.

Flip it the rest of the way and see what happens next. Maybe it's a on off for a ebc.

I'm not so sure about that, because I just turned my lights on, moved the switch around, and nothing happened.

I'm going to guess on a valet switch or something tied to your alarm. As ohers have stated, the only way you will ever know is to pull the kick panel out and take a look at where the wires go. That isn't an oem switch so not much help on it's purpose. Investigative work will be required here.

I have one & have believed it to be the power antenna. It has a fuse missing under that panel & have never messed with it. Just a thought.
