I didn't know where to put this, my best guess is that it is electrical related. Please feel free to move this if this is not in the right place
*Story*
I recently just purchased a 97 Spyder GST (auto), I am the 4th owner. 139xxx original miles but turbo and transmission were replaced 30k mi ago. It's pretty stock still with the typical basic mods, but nothing major or worth mentioning. Anyway, I have this flip switch (pictured) that no one seems to know why it's there. Hard to see in the picture but it toggles up and down, "on" or "off". It is currently sitting in the "on" position. (I do not have an aftermarket alarm system). I do still talk to the previous owner of which I purchased from, he is the one who replaced the turbo and did all kinds of nice work on it. I asked him about the switch, he couldn't find anything hooked up to it and is guessing the original owner put it there. I am not about to go rip apart my dash to figure it out, either since the car is running fine with no issues. He claims he has never flipped the switch to see if anything happens, and I'm not going to either!
Does anyone want to try to guess what this could be?
P.S - please excuse the awful wood grain sticker. I am in the process of removing it still!
