Dan D90 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I know this is probably a long shot, however from the pics below does anyone have an idea what the mystery button might do/have done: Its located on the steering column surround, the green and red wire runs to a relay in the engine bay: connected to that is a yellow cable that runs to the battery, a purple one that runs nowhere and a smaller purple and blue cable which runs into the passenger side wing, unfortunately, this one is tight and I can not see what it connects too. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Should we assume that it does nothing now when pressed? Given the mismatch of wire colours I don't think we can realistically use them to trace. Wh/Gr is a switched live, so it will activate the relay when the ign is on. Purple/blue is usually a door pin switch colour. Either way it's not the nicest of installs so I'd be getting that stripped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Is that switch a push on/push off type or push on & it holds in? plain purple is a 12v permanent live feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Mine had the same push-on release-off switch, Station wagon originally registered to an army colonel and the hair in it indicated it carried the regimental goat! I presumed it originally worked an alternative horn or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
