1993 SR5 4x4...Switch next to dash dimmer...What is it?

Can anyone tell me what this switch is for?

It is to the left and above the dash light dimmer switch. Mine is missing the plate, however, when pushed, it lights up.

I'm new to this truck...will post photos of it over the coming days.

Appreciate the hep !

Chances are someone before you had some lights somewhere on the vehicle and that was the switch. You can grab another grommet at a yard and pull your panel off and pull the switch and what's left of the wiring out. Unless it's still connected to something, that is.

I've attached another image.

The set up looks pretty stock.

Is it the ECT button?

It lights up 'amber' when I push it, with the key on only. There must have been a cover over it at some point.

There are no outside cab lights unfortunately.

The button looks factory. I believe that is the "clutch start cancel" button.



I found this picture on another thread.

The OP picture was sideways and I didn't realize. I was thinking clutch start cancel but it was the wrong orientation lol.
