RE: found a strange switch
Kill switch is an old school way of immobilizing your car. People would hide them in the passenger compartment and hit the switch when they got out. This dissable the car until the owner or someone who knew were the switch was came back, hit the switch again, and the car would start again. These were really popular in California in the mid 90's. I had one on my 95 GT when I was out there, came on the car as a dealer installed part. They even came out with a newer version that could be hidden in you headliner.Can't remember the company that made them, it was the same company that made the chips that you pluged in under the steering wheel back in the 80's and 90's. Haven't seem one on a car in years.

Ejection seat, very rare option. Or it's the convertable hard top switch, Ford was trying to keep that on the DL.
