Suspected cause
says it is probably a switch to activate"global searching when the bad guys kidnap you" or a light for the footwell.
Test operation of it or something...while stationary

I think it's really just to test operation of it or something...while stationary.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Changing out my interior bulbs for LEDs today, and noticed a switch (rocker switch with a l & 0 )in the passenger footwell next to centre console. Have never seen that before, and have no idea what it is for.
Anyone have any ideas?
You don't want to know what car I was relating to........,
first thing that came to mind.
In reality it's more likely to be a ejector seat than high beam.
Perhaps you should consult the Owner's Manual. My wife an ex Bond Girl ??? says it is probably a switch to activate"global searching when the bad guys kidnap you" or a light for the footwell.
Or you could call the spare parts guys at PCM.

Thinking more about it may have been installed by a previous owner to switch on/off gps tracking for theft as this is always running and drains the. Battery or may e for a car phone kit?
Some older models, I think 964, had a switch in the footwell that allowed you to switch off and disable the ultrasonic part of the alarm, allowing you to keep pets in the car.................or kids when you want to go to the pokies!!
Yeah it's a low profile switch too, not like you can operate it with your foot or anything....weird!
I think it's really just to test operation of it or something...while stationary.
Actually, not sure if we're talking about the same button???
In the 996 it's on the outer side of the footwell, not the console side.
Press it and see what happens!
