Ignition
Hi, in Venezuela, swichera in a car refers to the ignition.
And swiche could be any switch, so I guess you would have to find out which switch they are talking about.
I know it's spanglish, but that is the popular use.

Switch board, switch
Seems like the pod or board containing the switches and controls in the car's panel.
