I have seen this odd switch a few times on different T100's and cannot figure out what it is, my truck doesnt have one. It appears to be a switch inside the cab near the little blinking alarm light-perhaps for foglights?

I had a stupid aftermarket alarm that was installed there. The alarm was fantastic for causing the CEL light come on, and other electric gremlins. I am going to put a fan overide and foglight switch there when it warms up

I was thinking the same thing... except the picture is an auto-tranny.

Actually, the clutch start-cancel switch is supposed to be in the cutout just left of that switch you show in the picture. That switch is probably either foglights or for some other auxilary power source. I doubt it would be for an alarm unless it was a blinking light or something.

Well, in the pic, that is for the factory security system. It's the blinking LED system monitor and glass breakage sensor. I would also guess a Clutch Start Cancel switch would go in the knockout to the left.

Ah, makes sense b/c I have a aftermarket alarm.

It does oddly look like it resembles the factory switch in my old camry.
