What does this switch do?

Post by Rebiam » Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:57 pm

Hi - Please can someone help - I have this seemingly redundant switch on the dash to the right of the steering column

What does it / did it do? (used to have a picassa account now seem to have a google+ :? - not sure how link will work - might have to right click and download in a new window to see - sorry :( .)

Cheers

Which switch do you mean?
Top one looks like a rear fog lamp switch. One with a picture of an engine is the self-destruct button :lol: - OK, it works the exhaust flap in winterised models from North Japan :wink:

Hi - I mean the switch in the middle next to the coin cubby hole with some japanese writing on top, a small button in the centre and 'oil' on the bottom

Is there a prize for the first correct guess?

Oil warning lamp test switch, perhaps?

You could press it and see what happens*.

Some kind of James Bond gadget that dumps oil from the back of the van to cause the baddies to skid off the road?
