I just purchased a 2002 H1 open top two weeks ago and I can't figure out what one of the switches on the dash goes to. I first thought it was for the winch but I tried it and the winch didn't turn on. Its located on the drivers right side closest to the center console area and is red with no markings on it. I will take a pick of it and post it. Also do h1s have a tendency of running hot on the high way?

A picture would be helpful - that may be an aftermarket switch.
It is not uncommon for Hummers to run hot on the highway, but they shouldn't; your radiator stack may need to be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, that is the most common cause for running hot on the highway.

What is hot? It is normal for them to run at 190-210 degrees. What temp. is yours running at? I agree with Manny. The red switch sounds like and aftermarket switch for something like off road lights. Your winch control should be a handset at the end of a wire that plugs into the winch itself. It is not uncommon for accessories like that to not come with a used truck.

I Agree with the other post
Clean you stack, but also with Summer time coming, you want to head off any over heating issues off at the pass.
