It disarms the warhead.

It looks electrical, so it must be haunted like the rest of the electrical systems in the car.

Turns off the power to the CEL bulb?

Or, since it’s a Jaaaaaggggg, probably kills the brake lights to assist the robbers in fleeing from the police.

bought a car with a rando switch, I was concerned it did something severe like cutting fuel, or something pathetic like turning on (broken) blue LEDs.

eventual removal showed it was connected to nothing

It turns off the CEL and other warning lights so it’s more comfortable to drive at night.

It controls whether an X-Type is a real Jaguar or not.

It wakes up the electrical gremlins.

It’s so obvious.

Obviously it activates the Trunk Monkey-Prostitute.

Either that or it’s the History Eraser Switch.

the camera was REALLY struggling with the blue LEDs in the cabin. it threw the white balance and auto focus completely out, it was just constantly adjusting.

As a former X-Type owner, you don’t touch that switch . NEVER touch that switch... I’ve said to much...

My X-type is too a real Jaguar > CalzoneGolem 03/18/2019 at 16:43

Having owned one of those I’m guessing it toggles the wipers on and off

facw > CalzoneGolem 03/18/2019 at 17:04

I’d guess it turns on some lighting, or maybe something like a radiator fan that they were too cheap to replace properly?

The switch rattles their cage..

I know of a c e r t a i n second-hand Smart 450 which came a little concealed switch. It turns out it r e n d e r s the ESP i n o p e r a t i v e . ( N o , I d o n ’ t u n d e r s t a n d i t e i t h e r )

It does something a lot more cheaply  than an authentic Jag switch.

Being on the column, I’m guessing it’s something controll ed from one of the stalks. Headlights? Wipers? Horn?

Don’t worry about it. Jaguars sometimes get extra buttons and switches with old age. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't turn into more complex electronics.

Probably disconnects the airbag.

Was there some danger of it actually opera t ing?

CalzoneGolem > Nick Has an Exocet 03/19/2019 at 07:16

It’s benign is what you’re saying?

CalzoneGolem > MM54 03/19/2019 at 07:17

All of them at the same time?

CalzoneGolem > facw 03/19/2019 at 07:19

they were too cheap to replace properly

That does sound like somethi ng a Jag owner would do.

Now I just want to touch it more than previously.

My guess would be aftermarket remote starter.  I have a similar switch in my old truck for that reason.

CalzoneGolem > You can tell a Finn but you can't tell him much 03/19/2019 at 09:02

So hitting the switch will disable the remote starter?

Maybe? I can’t say for sure that is what that switch is for, it may just let all the smoke out of the wiring harness.

I can say that there is a switch just like that to disable the aftermarket remote starter on my old truck.  I can’t remember if it disables the lock switches on the remote starter fob or not.
