Default Nacelle toggle switches

Can someone tell me what the left toggle switch on my nacelle does? The right one turns my passing lamps on and off but the left doesn't seem to be working. I never turn off my passing lamps so I have not used the switches.my service manual doesn't say.Just wandering.

Accessory switch. Hook an accessory up to the connector located under your seat and that switch will operate it.

Does the left switch control the connector under the seat or the connector in the nacelle?

Controls the connector under the seat. I had to tap into the switched side by the switch so that I could put in a switched power plug on the headlight nacelle on a RKC.

I wired two relays to convert my street glide facia from red to green at the flip of the switch.

I appreciate the responses the I got from you guys. It's good to know that there wasn't something wrong. Now I just have to decide what to hook up to it. The lights look right up my alley.
