    You just buy your Tundra? Any lights added? Anyway to have dealer contact the previous owner to ask them? That's last owners deal they did

    Yes- just bought it about 2 weeks ago and on my way back from my first trip with the truck. Bored driving trying to figure everything out. Guess I’ll have to mess with it when I stop for gas. Driving is why my spelling is horrible. Thanks

    Has to be for a light set up that the previous owner put on. That or it's for predator cloak mode.

    I’d rather not list. My wife might see it.
    I do remember that switch in the F4 Phantom. Hopefully the red wire isn’t connected or else ...

    Did you check and see if he had lights in bed of truck. They may of turned that on. Or check top of cab. He might of had a light bar for fire and EMS. Might see some round magnet Mark's where he had light bar.

    Somehow it’s connected to the stereo navigation system. I know nothing about that stuff. It’s 2009 Alpine time to upgrade

    Maybe a ground switch to bypass the safety features of the head unit while driving

    My guess is maybe he had an amp and that was a cut off switch to it. Alot of people around here do that because police will still pull you over I'd it's to loud
