On my 04 RK it is a spare switch.
Don't know if this helps.

It's an aux switch that does nothing from the factory. The other end is behind the panel under the seat. I have mine connected to a 12v outlet to charge my cell.

There is a 4 pin deutsch connector under the seat that you can connect an accessory to and that switch will turn it on and off.

I just wired up a USB plug to mine yesterday.
