Default Toggle switch in Ashtray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found a toggle switch in my ask tray and i cant figure out what it's for. It's a grey wire from the switch then splices into bright green wire and goes under steering wheel somewhere. im trying to trace it but there's so many wires under there. i will add pics tomorrow.

Set up a solenoid to flip the switch remotely from a safe distance. Could be anything from a bomb to a dixie horn..

I once wired my garage door opener into a switch in the ash tray.

Could be NOS, e-cutout, stereo related....
