Nikolay Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi everyone! Despite having the car since 10 years I still wonder what does the headlight switch do when turned clockwise. Also there are two other switches on the both sides of the rev counter and fuel /temp gauges. I will be pleased if you can help me. Thank you!

malbasys Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Turning the switch switches the panel lights on or off.. Th two switches on the sides should be for heated rear window and fog lights. One or both may have blanking plates fitted if you car doesn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What doesn't work? the dash lights when you switch it? or something else? From memory, i think its pull out to sides, then turn and you should get dash lights.

®evo03 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Is this only for the A, is it the same dtyle of switch in the B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolay Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 When I pull out the switch first the sidelights are activated and then the headlights. Simultaneously the dashboard is illuminated. Everything works fine but I don't know what the turning of the switch clockwise is doing Niko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) The B series switch is different. The A series should as said earlier turn off the dash illumination when turned, designed to be used when parking with lights on to reduce the draw on the battery. On the A the interior light is turned on by moving the light itself. Edited October 30, 2020 by 1900SR 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take it off you can then try to rotae the spindle by hand and then you should see if its working properly or not. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
