Mine is just the housing and a wire, unless the mercury switch is inside the housing. I was actually thinking about a push button switch under hood to turn it on and off, or something on the inside of the truck. I like it, and the location is correct so I'm guessing it was part of a package. Think I'll use it somehow.

Thanks for the answers.
