Anyone know what this switch is for?

[Bazzateer]

The one between the hazard and rear delisted switches?

 

[Albrecht]

It's not an original factory-fitted switch. It will have been fitted by a previous owner.

 

[Bazzateer]

As I thought. Now I need to find out what it's for!

 

[jonbills]

How many positions does the switch have? Could be a switch for the power aerial.

 

[chris frizzell]

has your car got A/C ? may but for that or some additional lights take a look by removing the centre console ,they come off quite easy

 

[Bazzateer]

Cheers guys, no a/c. Could be for the aerial.

Don't need one, just don't take passengers.

fitting a radio cassette in my 280z this weekend but i think you would have the aerial in the start and radio power so no switch needed . these cars have some dodgy wiring at the best of times . do your indicators work as they run through the hazard switch and it could be a bypass . do worry if in doult take it too bits just take loads of pictures

 

[Bazzateer]

Indicators work. It was MoT'd on Thursday. Will see if the switch affects them though.

Easiest way is to take out the 5 bolts holding the console in place and trace it. My Monet would be on aerial too!

As long as it's a genuine Monet I may hold you to that!

I can already make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs so no need.

Manual override for an electric fan, if fitted

or far less likely but way more fun...... smoke screen or maybe initialisation switch for front mounted machine guns (is there an apparently redundant button around the steering wheel somewhere?! )

Could be for the fan, it has twin electric fans fitted. One of the little jobs to do is to tidy up the wiring on the fans and horns.

Those power window switches are from a Merc aren't they?

No idea. Windows are manual.

Finally got around to pulling this switch and it was indeed for the aerial although unconnected. It's an on-off-on momentary switch. The fitted stereo (no front panel so not working) was connected to the aerial so the new stereo will be wired the same. Just need a blank to replace this one with.
