Switch under the steering wheel (Pics Inside Now) I stumbled upon this switch today, it is the one that sits right under the steering wheel to the right a little, basically above your right knee. I looked through the manual briefly to satisfy my curiosity, but couldnt find anything.
I am sure this is a dumbass question, but what does that switch do?

do you mean to your left? there is no factory switch on the right side but above your left knee would be the yellow hatch release/trunk opener. how long have you had your car lol? thats kinda funny

I have had the car for 3 months now... I know about the yellow hatch release, but there is definitely another switch right above my right knee. I have an '02 WS.6

If you can flip it, then it's not the hazards. Is it on the column itself, or the knee panel? If it's on the panel, it's probably for neons. If there are no neons, the previous owner probably just left he switch there, or its for some other miscellaneous item.
If you can, uninstall the switch and see if the wire is cut or still runs underneath the dash.

Sorry... Been really busy lately.
No killswitch, no neons.. .I even had my sister hop in the car and flip that switch on and off, and saw nothing. Maybe it is an aftermarket alarm that got removed. I will try to take some pictures soon.
