Default weird switch with relay by the center console (pic)

Okay guys iam I in a process of replacing my carpet and when I pulled out the center console I came accross this switch which is spliced into the ground side of the light bulb (shown) and the other side going to a relay. The rest out of the relay hooks up or spliced in the the harnes to the tranny.now I tried switching this to on/off don't seem to do anything either with the lights on/off or key on/off. Any help or input
would be greatly appreciated.

does it or did it have a 700r4 could be for locking the converter. if so the car would have to be moving for it to do anything.

then it would not be a converter lock. th350 does not have a locking torque converter. could have been a trans brake lock in it. if so probly taken out before selling.

I believe some of the later year turbo 350's had lock-up converters.
