Another Avant question

Took the side panel off trying to figure out the throttle...found some new questions:

What are these?


First, this was buried in the panel/not installed in a switch "blank". It lights up when I switch it, so seems to be hooked up. I thought maybe it turns off the self-leveling boom, but that didn't change when actuated. There is a label on it that says "boom susp"

This is on the side of the panel. I assumed it was just to hold something on the other side of the panel when I saw it before. But when looking from the inside there are wires on it.

The first picture is a switch that probably controls a bucket float function. Turn that switch on, push your boom lever all the way forward to the stop, and see if it doesn't allow the boom to float up and down across the ground as you drag a bucket along.

The other possibility is that it turns on a ride control system, which would cause the boom to "bounce" up and down a bit while you are traveling in order to smooth out the bouncy ride of the machine.

The second and third picture looked to me like a buzzer/beeper, or possibly a proximity sensor. If you could read the letters and numbers on it that would be helpful.
