    I am looking at buying a Prius plug in with a weird accessory switch. Does anyone know what it was used for?

    That is an aftermarket switch. Just ask the own what it is for. Or turn it on and look/listen for
    something to happen.

    Looks like a sloppy DIY install... All you gotta do to find out what it does is figure out what the wires connect to. :)

    Remember Kmart?
    That switch activates the blue light special in the automotive aisle.
