Welcome to the forums. No I have no idea what that switch is. I can guess. You might need to pull the seat and Inspect it. I am guessing you have a late model C-3 with electric seats. Seat electric controls are on the door side (or front) most of the time, You didn't mention what type of switch it is, a flip or position switch. It could be a seat heater, one or two position switch most of the time I installed heating pads in my 77 that uses a three position rocker switch with the kit, off, up is top pad and bottom and down is bottom pad only. all depends on how its wired by you. My guess is seat heater, but I could be wrong.

Welcome to the forum. Does it look like a factory switch? One thing I thought of was that it might be some kind of kill switch for the ignition.
