Thread: Does anyone know what this is for?

Fog lamps where fitted. I used mine as a master switch for driving lamp relay.
When originally wired up, IIRC they were only operational with low beam?

Don't you mean right hand side?! (Mines an '83)

Mine has no knob on it so I wanted to know too!

Have to see if anything is wired up

Cheers

That was my understanding.

The stalks changed from side to side, depending on year.

I didn't think the early Rangies had this function.

I know mine doesn't. ('75)

Hi ghillie,

On my 81 RRC the switch on R H Side behind wiper control used to turn on the headlights.
The LH switch behind the indicators, one flick down parking lights, one further flick was headlights.

My R H switch behind the wipers started playing up, lights wouldn't turn lights on and my local auto electrician wired everything to the one switch to L H side behind the indicators.

So much easier, one click parking, two clicks headlights ....oh and the dip switch is now on the floor

Cheers

So it had two headlight switches??

Thanks to all - it's def on the left hand. I don't think it's a dimmer but I'll check again. Most likely so far seems fog lamp switch - redundant as my car doesn't have them.

Hi,

The original owner's handbook for mine (74) calls it a driving/fog lamp switch.

3 positions:

1. Upright, aux lamps off.

2. Down one, single fog lamp, LHS only, with headlamps on.

3. Down two, Both fog and long range driving lights on, with parkers or headlights on.

Mine is just wired to switch driving lights on, only activated when high beam is on, i.e. dip lights and driving lights go to off automatically.

cheers, DL
