    Bed cover switch? Alarm? Hidden fuel shut off? That's an odd looking switch...

    You could trace the wires and see where they lead to. :notsure:
    Hopefully, it isn't one of those chrome reverse muffler bearing auto-lube controllers! :eek::poking:

    Stay away from your exhaust when you push any of those buttons. Don't want to get flooded with any of that chrome reverse muffler bearing lubricant or relative bearing grease! PLEASE! Be careful!

    What would have 8 wires going to it? Cheapo plow rig? Really overcomplicated garage door opener? After market flashers/ take/down lights?

    As said, nothing harmful. If you got it from a dealer I bet they ripped whatever it was out.
