Random switches and buttons

So I recently purchased a former Marine Corps M1123 and from it's unit designation numbers it came from 9thComm BN. On the driver's side there is a switch that I have no idea what it does or goes to, and behind the passenger seat is what looks like a push button that again I don't know what it does or where it goes. I'm in the process of wire tracking, but I'm hoping one of you guys have an idea what they are! I put pics up, but I'll try to get better ones if I can.

I think the thing behind the passenger seat you're referring to is the circuit breaker for the transmission control module.
No idea what the one by the driver's door is.

There is the chance your had convoy lights or something like that on it. Definitely not one I ever saw before though.
you'll have to trace wires to figure it out.

The one in the back is a circuit breaker. Don't recognize the thingy up front.

Sure coming up with some wack electrics, CAMO

I don’t have an answer but a similar question...figured better to piggy back off this thread for future search than create a new one.
I have a switch on my M998 that I don’t know what it controls. It has similar black wiring and weather proof connectors like all the other stock stuff. Circled in red.

I believe that might be the switch location for the aux fuel tank...
