What does this column switch do? I haven't found it in the Driver's Handbook, and does not seem to affect any of the exterior lights or dash lights. It is available as a replacement part on an Ebay search, so I would imagine it has a purpose. Does anyone know? Picture attached.

Looks like an aftermarket switch. It might be for turning the OD on or off if the stalk switch is not working. :unsure:
 
Phazers or Shields, more likely the latter.
 
The Midget never came from the factory with an overdrive. If it has one, it was modified by a previous owner.
