little blue switch

[Tayfun.tugra]

So I found this blue switch and tried to follow the wires back but with no luck. Any ideas as to what it does? I cant see anything as to what it could be.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

 

Which bit is nice?

[Tayfun.tugra]

Not the rear fog unfortunately. Or the bomb. Or the ejecto seato aha. I tried it in numerous conditions. .no luck

All of it really but mainly the switch, stunning!

 

Perhaps when you switch it on it lights up, thats all.

It says on it - in pictures - it's a light relay, but you're missing the GND wire...if it had additional front lights like PIAA spots the Japs often add then it could have been for them - but more likely the rear fog unless you have another rear fog.

I'm an idiot.

its a add on of sorts.. if you can't find what it does bin it.. or use it for something else! if you don't use it trace/isolate the wiring as it could short if has a 12v feed.

A stab in the dark here -

 

I fitted a switch to my electric aerial as I didn't want it popping up when the head unit was switched on unless I was actually using the radio. I doubt it's for that purpose but just throwing an idea in the pot

The GND is just to make the switch light up when it's turned on

Does the car start with the switch in both posns? I had a home made immobiliser on a peugeot like that. It was wired to ignition but well hidden.

It's a switch - not a 'relay'

 

The 'ACC' terminal is for 'Accessory' - in most cases lights of some description (hence the picture).

 

I'd like to know if the OP already has a fog switch somewhere else or even a working rear foglamp at the moment so he can rule out if it's just a case of a blown fog bulb or something else.

Look under the "chassy" for screw holes. Might have been for an under car neon kit that foolishly got removed. Switch was left so as not leave a gaping hole in the trim.

I also thought it had something to do with the alarm system... then I took a step back and realised I had quite a sophisticated system fitted.

This is what I investigated the most. The car was imported in 1999/2000 so I have always wondered how it passed the MOT year after year without a fog light fitted, then its always possible to have a friendly MOT technician * uhum*

As its cropped up so many times as to do with fog lights/neon etc I'll spend some more tuesday (not raining) aiming in that direction. will let you know how it goes on.
