thats an aftermarket item. Go under the dash and find out where it goes. You car does not has hicas, because a big sticker would be there with the word hicas and a light that goes on if there are any problems with it.

Its just an aftermarket toggle switch. It COULD HAVE BEEN....what evry one else said or theres also a possibility that it was an ignition kill switch or an amplifier toggle switch.

So, how to I get that switch out of there. i've tried getting it out, but it doesn't budge. I looked under the dash, but the bottom part, the part that wraps under the steering wheel area blocks the view of anything there.
