What is it??

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know what the switch does under the hood on the drivers side? Looks like a pressure activated type switch that makes contact with the hood when it's closed, and pops up when it's open.
searched the forums...checked the owner's manual...looked for an under hood light that might come on when hoods up like my F250...no luck.
Am I stooopid???

It keeps the remote start from working while the hood is open.
