Would anyone recognize the application for this switch.  Delco-Remy # 1116705.  Thanks in advance.

Wild guess, but could it be for a rear power tailgate, like a Blazer or station wagon?  I can't find anything on it on the internet.

Unless it is from before about 1980, the "S" Blazers fit.  I had a bunch of them and I do not recognize it. Something from the 70's, maybe. Thanks for the thought.

Definitely 70's, from the box logo.  I did some deeper diving and found that it is an arming key/switch- http://www.delcoremy.com/find-a-part/product-details/1116705

 

It looks like the ones that guys in the 70's would put on the front fender of their Corvette or Chevelle that was part of the factory accessory alarm system.  Maybe not the some exact style in the photo below, but same concept.

Maybe for a motorhome or other aftermarket application. The Corvettes used the standard GM door key for their fender alarm switch. I see this switch has the small Briggs & Stratton keys.

Thanks for your input.  Looking to possibly put on an older car.

Appears to be an alarm arming switch
