Hi in my 1991 Honda Accord there is an on/off switch, I was wondering what it was. http://www.flickr.com/photos/61569493@N06/5600756659/

 

Pic not working. 94

 

Thanks

 

That is not a standard Honda switch and without seeing where the wires go, it's impossible for anyone here to tell you what it is for. Could be some idiots homemade VTEC engagement switch. Or it could be for fog lights????

Easiest thing would be to follow the wires and see what they lead you too.

 

It goes to the aftermarket car alarm, but it doesn't turn it off.

 

My guess, valet switch.

A valet switch is part of most modern car alarm systems.
Suppose you need to lend your car to a friend, or take it to a full-service car wash. Maybe even go someplace so fancy they actually have valets. (Hence the name...) It's not usually practical to give these people the remote to your car alarm -- they're typically kinda big, at least on the scale of things that go in your pants pocket -- but at the same time you don't want the poor bastards to have to listen to your car's pointless screaming. (Many car alarms have a cutoff either to the ignition or the fuel pump, so they'd be screwed, and your car might be damaged as well.)

Enter the valet switch. It's a tiny switch (rarely more than a couple centimeters), tucked away in some unobtrusive location (most typically under the car's dashboard on the driver's side, but occasionally in the glove compartment, or even under the hood in the fusebox). Flip the switch, and the blinkenlight usually goes from blinking to solid, and the alarm is disabled until you flip the switch back.

Alarm valet switch.


Cheapo DEI brand alarms all have those and 99% of the time, they don't work, but the audio guys install em anyway.

 

Because it is an on/off, [SPST] switch, valet switches are normally momentary, [SPST momentary] it is most likely not a valet switch but an on/off for a remote start, either way and as mentioned it is not a stock switch.

Have you checked to see if it is connected to anything yet? 94

 

yeah it just goes to a box under the dash that has to do with the car alarm.
