    Directly below my A/C, Heater control knobs are 2 power outlets and 1USB port. To the left of the USB port is a round switch that has a small blue indicator light when activated. Can’t figure out what it’s for?? Not shown in my manual and does not activate anything that I can see. Can anyone tell me what the Hell it’s for? Thanks

    Usually those switches are used for auxiliary lighting.
    So I imagine they took the lights, or similar, out before they got rid of the truck.
    As a guess, if you throw the switch with the key on, and it lights up, and nothing blows up, glows, or makes noise then, it’s disconnected from the accessory. If it doesn’t light up then it’s a dead switch. Hard to tell from a pic.
