Default Strange switch in car

There's a switch in the coin slot thing under the steering wheel which looks like its meant to be a kill switch or something. When i bought the car the previous owner wasn't sure what it was and said he never had to use it so i just left it and didn't touch it.
When the switch is flicked up and you turn the key into the ON position the fuel pump is constantly running, it doesn't just prime and switch off like it normally does with the switch flicked down. And if you turn the car off while the switch is up the engine will continue to run until you flick the switch down. Everything else in the car turns off like the radio and accessories but the engine stays on.
I can't think why the car would have a switch like this... i originally thought it might of been a turbo timer but the car never turned off after i left it for a few minutes so now i'm thinking it might be a killswitch which has been wired up wrong.
Has anyone got any ideas what this might be or what it might be for?

Thanks
