Unidentified Switch

Small silver switch in the arm rest console. Anyone know what it does?

Most likely a fuel pump switch added by a previous owner. Switch it with the engine idling and see what happens.

I was thinking that it was a fuel pump switch. How would I be able to know for sure? What should happen when I switch it while idling?

What do you think will happen if you turn the fuel pump off when the engine's idling?

Ah, somebody who couldn't figure out the FC antenna's switched-ground operation. That's easy to fix (i.e. full auto operation) if you want to.
