Mystery switch

[seacow]

I know there's often a few threads like this - my mystery one is the switch next to the electric window controls on the driver's door. There is a long thin switch marked "On" at one end. I have made some guesses to do with the window controls and the central locking but none of my experiments have shown it to do anything that I can determine.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

On some, the switch that overrides the passenger window control has 'ON' written on it. If it's not that, maybe it was but no longer works... Or maybe it controls something else

If you mean the one at the back of the switch panel at 90 degrees, it switches the passy side window control on/off.

That's the one, first place to look if your windows don't work as it can get knocked into the 'Off' position.

Cool - thanks! I didn't try from the passenger side!

It's the 'Test your passengers sense of humour' switch

How it works,

a) Spend an evening eating Curry, Cabbage, Baked Beans, Lentils and wash it down with some fizzy pop
b) Go for long drive (with passenger)
c) Turn off passenger window
d) Chuckle like a demented school boy whilst your passenger gasps for air

Warning: If passenger turns blue then turn on passenger window immediately!

When in stalled my 626 switch replacement, there was actually a live feed off that switch, as opposed to the the original Bongo version disabling of the passy window by turning the power off to the passy circuit...





I used this live feed off the switch as a trigger for a "panic mode", (which was a feature on my alarm system) flick the switch & the vehicle locks down. Even closing both the windows, if open too! I used a relay cunningly placed to trick the window closure modulo the engine was off in order to do this.. It all unlocks when the ignition switches off & resets.

Possible fog light switch.try it and see. Bongo's in Japan dont have fog lights, over here its the law, so an after market light and switch are normally fitted.

Looks just like my rear fog switch.

Homie dats slick, take your pick of a switch & post a picture on Flikr
Be still my beating ticker as we bicker on it usage not wanna blow a fuse
this comes as a surprise the dice has rolled on da auxiliary function
capillary action drawing up the ideas like Brittany Spears careers teacher
once more into the breach as we keep the Meerkat preachings simples
the obvious not staring in the face, like trace the wires to the place of origin
borrowing a meter while the on light red, or maybe oranging?
Foraging fo an answer like an itch while yo arm in plaster.

Peace.

Stan.

Yes, that's the rear fog light switch and my mystic powers tell me you have an Imperial conversion

[dave_aber]

Or a JAL import - they use the same fog switch...
