Not another switch question. :lol: I hear
Well I have a switch located between the two blind switches and it shows a small fog type lamp with the A/B beside it. can't figure what it's for. The mechanic says it could be a fuel heater which should only work at a certain temp. Any ideas?? If it is indeed a fuel tank heater. How can I tell if it works and will it be suffic ient to heat veg oil??

meant to say the mechanic said a fuel tank heater should only work when the outside temp dropped below a certain level

Spolights that're (or were) mounted on the bullbars.

Thanx Kirsty I guess you are unfortunately right. Was kinda hoping that it was a heater. Only had my new spots wired in last week and they are wired to come on with main beam. I remember when I bought Blodwen Steve at Outback said the previous owner had taken his spots with him. Have to have another look at thinning my oil out in winter.

The regular A/B switch is , as MissFixit says, for spots/fogs.

Have you tried an accurate understanding of the past, to clarify the present, it allows you to act for the future?.

Ah but the past is history, the future is a mystery but the present is a gift!
