is it an original switch? it doesnt sound it. is it a lock for doors, windows, the tailgate... have you played around with it to see if it effects anything? what about a pic?

It is to keep the child in all of us from falling out the window. Besides if that power toggle on the passenger door actually works, this is a means of keeping the passenger reliant upon the driver to put the window up and down.
