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! :)

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
