That I what I thougth it was but it does nothing when the engine is running. Its is a factory switch. You would think it would be in the owners manual. I thought someone might have a Pachanga and can tell me 100% sure that it is a kill switch.
If not I think I will hook it up as a wife ejection switch

Yes, what they said. I never saw one mounted on a horizontal surface. I have the same type but mounted vertically.

, it looks like a kill switch as stated above, its not often you find a switch shrouded like that.

Dam Ratman, that's exactly what I was going to say
