I started my car tonight and noticed despite the headlight switch being fully in the off position, my dash lights are on and my license plate light is .
Odd. Never saw that before. Headlight switch I imagine.... Thoughts? David Addedum-and saw what I thought was a wisp of smoke come from under my dash at the windshield....perhaps my imagination? |

Hmpf.
Pretty confused today. I did a side by side comparisson of the stock wiper switch and the 924 switch that I was under the impression was plug and play http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=93618&st=0 (see post 16) But now I'm not so sure.... Using a continuity tester the wires on the stock switch compared to the 924 switch energize very different internal components, to such an extent that even if I were to change the wires in the loom on the 924 switch, it wouldn't be possible to mimick how the stock switch energizes it's internal componenets (at least not without fairly major modification). Note that the part at CIP1 carries the correct part number for a 924 switch yet is listed for a vw. I was told that was ok, but I'm beginning to wonder... I wonder what I've missed? Suffic to say, I'll put the stock switch back in and ultimately that will solve the question (or at least hopefully). |
