Trace the wire leaving the switch.

Love guessing games! Is it to the bilge pump?

Could it be for a Mercathode system?

How about a clock? They stay running even with the key off.

a buddy has a 70 whaler with the switch to the running lights on the battery box. you'll have to trace it down, but do us all a favor and get a FUSE HOLDER and a sealed switch. sparks around a battery is not a good idea along with non-fused wiring. <br /><br />got an extinguisher? where is the second wire?

Can't be that hard to trace the wire.
