Dash switch

[bawgixer]

to the right of the steering wheel u have a switch to operate the rear heater,
next to this I have a blank switch where I was looking to fit a front fog switch into,
on removing the blank it has a wiring block conected to it.
Could anyone tell me what would be fitted there on other modelS and what the connector block is for.thanks.

It works a valve in the exhaust to heat the engine up quicker. It's only fitted to the winter versions with twin batteries.

Could it not be the front fog loom already in place?

My fog light switch is in the row above, next to that "coin holder" thing

Hi bawgixer,

If it Is a Blank Switch ie a (Dummy),it is probably for the front fog lamps..

If you follow the wiring you will see the lamp connectors at the end.

Ps did I see you in L##### or C######.

Not necessarily, the Front Fog lamps are operated via a relay, so the wiring from the switch goes to the relay on the nearside bumper and the wiring to the lamps comes from the relay itself.
or depending on the year.

I love the optimism of "follow the wiring"

In days of yore, when I was a Apprentice in BT, all the wires on a rack would be laced together with loops at 1" intervals like this;

One of the other apprentices who had only just joined, had been asked to "follow the wire back", so he did by cutting all the lacing to follow that one wire ... he had yet to learn about colour codes
Trouble was we ALL ended up having to re-lace about 9 feet of cable form He wasn't allowed to forget that for three years
