Defender Auxiliary Switches..

[Sue]

Does anyone know where I can get some Auxiliary Switches for my car (2011 Puma)... I have several blanks in the dash and would like to put some switches in those spots rather than making new holes..

Hello,
I have a brand new Mudd pod to suit the Puma if you are interested. holds 6 Carling switches from memory.
Regards

Genuine Land Rover switches to fit the blanks in the center part of the dash. I went through ‘Mobile Center’ in the UK. At that time they were the only ones that had the switches and connection available. Since then I have seen them for sale at Mulgo – Rimmer Brothers - Devon 4x4 and a few eBay stores.

You can get them on-line from Mulgo: Land Rover Auxiliary Switches for Defender 2002 onwards | Buy 4x4 Land Rover Toyota Nissan Accessories and Parts Online Store | Expedition Centre Australia by Mulgo

Switch inserts from the Series2 Disco instrument surround will slide into the holes and the bezels from the other 6 way switch block clip onto these. I covered this a little in our Puma build lower on this page - some of the photos have vanished?

The trick is to know the part numbers you're after, but be very careful which switch you choose because there are several different types with vastly different wiring, plus there's latched and momentary types available as well. Prices between the different types of switches vary enormously - from about 8 GBP to 47 GBP, so be sure to determine the type best suited for your application before ordering. I usually buy mine from either Rimmer Bros or DingoCroft.

Have a search on this forum for YUH100370 and also YUG000540LNF you will find some threads that will help. There's also a handy reference at reedx.net.

The plugs are available from dingocroft.co.uk, part number ZZPLUG01. As noted on their website, you will probably have to cut the splines off the plug (depending on which switch you are plugging into).

BTW, the green ring around the cigarette lighter is a handy place to wire the switch backlights into.
