I believe that is the "downshift/full throttle switch"... check my accuracy though

My vote is for A/C cut out as well, downshift is done via cable. TPS is out by the throttle plate 2 switches idle and full throttle enrichment

Default AC switch because....
If you have the a/c on when the engines idling and car in park.. push that button, the a/c compressor shuts off, yes I tried it ;-)

Default on mine it's a kickdown switch
With the AC off on a 3spd auto it shifts me down a gear. I use it all the time. Instantly shoot down to 1st gear if going under 40mph, or down to 2nd gear if I'm under 70mph.
