Default "Extra" switch

I guess it could always be used for something else.
My fuel pump comes on when the ignition is turned on. I guess the extra switch is enabled as the two fans come on together. The car originally had a carb, then changed to an EZ FAST fuel injection system so the fuel pump has been changed to supply the needed extra pressure. The engine is a complete roller so there are no provisions for a mechanical fuel pump. The high pressure electric works fine as the tank has a return/bypass system. I changed the FI back to a Holley 750 because the FI system was old and having issues.Thanks
