small slider switch under dash.1958 Travellet

Post by estepona1999 »

Help,I am installing a new loom and I have found a small slider switch under the dash (beneath the ignition key) it has 3 wires connected to it which I had snipped off,leaving a couple of inches attached.Can anyone tell me what the switch is for,it looks as an original item.It obviously slides one way to turn on and the other to turn off.Could it be the lights that illuminate the speedo?
