Re: Unknown Switch
but you can still view the images with a bit of a sukkel but doable.
in anyway that switch is definitely aftermarket.
either for a 2nd batt or spots or maybe a hidden nos bottle :)

Re: Unknown Switch
Definitely aftermarket. Could have been used for a number of things like roof mounted spots, light bar, rear spots, fridge/freezer connection. Most of these would have been done via a solenoid or relay. The switch is still connected to live (the LED still lights up), perhaps you can hear a 'clicking' sound from a relay when switching it on and off? Otherwise pop it out and trace the wiring to see where it leads to. Don't remove it, it's handy for when you want to do one of the above mentioned add-ons.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Bernard, just use the "Image Resize" BB code that's available above the text box when posting from Tapatalk. They will then automatically resize.
