What's This Switch?

1992 GTSt, centre console, adjacent to bottom of handbrake, is a switch. It is a Centre off rocker switch, which matches the other switches,so looks standard.

It has a "light" symbol and either side of centre is marked I & II.

Each position turns on the dash and park lights, without use of Ignition Key.

Looked in a couple of other GTSt s & have'nt seen it. Anyone know? Seems useless. as the same function is done with light switch on "park".

No, I don't think so. It has 2 'on' positions, which EACH appear to do the same thing, AND each of those appear to do the same thing as the 'park' position on the light switch. That can't be, surely?

The reason for the question,therefore, was that I assumed this is not standard, or the 2 position switch,also does some other function at the same time, which I'm not aware of?

Anyone else got this switch? Does it do same thing mine does?

Anyone??

I have it too. Its on the flat bit of plastic between the centre console lid and the tray thing you'd put your phone or something?

Mine was connected. What I think it does is activate the 2 pairs of fog lights simultaneously. The ones in the head light and the ones on the stock type m front bar that some have. Check behind the front bar and you will probably have two plugs hanging there with white end caps on them. I believe these were for the stock fog lights.

I took my cluster apart the other day.

The fog light button below the rear window demister wasn't hooked up. The plug was just below diverted in a factory style harness to the switch near the centre console. I unplugged it there and plugged it back into the dash fog light button.

Mine has a GTR front bar so no fog lights anyway bar the ones in the headlight.

I always thought it was aftermarket, guess not! :)

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
