Looking for switch / relay identification

[Brad1976]

I went to a wreckers to get a few parts last week. While there, I saw this switch in a dash bevel and thought it might make a great control switch for a small LED bar I want to install in my centre console so I brought the entire dash bevel home... However, I'm having difficulty identifying the true nature of this switch / relay...

It's located just to the right of the main headlight control cluster and just below the far left dash air vent. It's an oval switch that has "Off" at the top. On the bottom of the switch within a recessed part, is a "P" and what looks like radio waves emitting down and to the right towards a traffic cone.

On the rear of this switch there are five wires. From the bottom there is a blue/black, black, red/black and a pink. Then beside the pink there is a second black.

I've taken my continuity tester and I can only get a current to go through the blue/black wire and the black wire next to it while I'm holding the button down. There does not seam to be any contact between any of the other wires regardless if I'm depressing the switch or not.

Anyone have any ideas as to what exactly this switch / relay is for?

Thanks in advance!

It is the rear sensors deactivitation switch. It turns the alarm off when backing and an object is detected. Typically gets used to turn off alarm when backing a trailer. It is a momentary contact only. Other wires are for switch lighting.

Thanks! I was hoping to install a 6" blue LED on the underside of the centre dash below the environmental controls to light up the storage bin in the centre console... I wanted to run the power from the main dash dimmer with a separate master on / off switch in that exact location and hoping that switch might have worked and have it still look completely factory...

Mind you, that was also before I saw a bunch of the other lighting mods on this forums and will probably make myself one of those control panels out of fibreglass to fit in that same spot... LOL

But thanks for the quick answer FordFool2!
