What Do These Switches Turn On?

While exploring my '59 100-6 a bit more today, I came across two switches under the dashboard. One is a black plastic sliding on/off switch that is mounted at the bottom edge of the dash, below the overdrive switch that's on the dash. So it's sort of hidden. Is this stock? If so, what does it operate?

Second switch I found is a silver toggle switch that's on the bottom of the Smiths heater box. I'm guessing this is for the heater fan?

Oh, also the cable that is attached to the Min to Max sliding switch for the heater is cut about halfway to whereever it was supposed to be connected to. Can someone tell me where this cable should be connected at it's other end?

Thanks,
Steve
 
Unless I'm very much mistaken (and I'm not at home, so I can't check) I remember that slider switch controlling some sort of under-dash light, so that maps could be read and such. Not sure about the other ones..
