    It's your aftermarket ATRAC switch. The previous owner must have read a DK rant and decided his truck wouldn't be complete without such awesome power!

    You guys are awful, it's his first post. Shame shame shame. *shakes finger at you*

    OP it's not original factory, I have a 2010 and I don't have that in the cubby door. But as some suggested, I would flick it off and on with someone outside of the truck to see if that affects anything.

    Not factory, who knows what it does!

    We have an 86 Toyota 1 ton at work with a liftgate. There is a switch on the dash that powers the liftgate. It's labeled "turbo boost". I still get people asking me why the turbo boost doesn't seem to be working.

    It is the activation switch for the Flux Capacitor. They are usually only found in certain DeLorean models. Rare to find one on a Toyotas Concider yourself lucky.

    It's obviously a scanner button, everytime you push it it sends a naked picture of you to the TSA
