Chambo110 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Felkas quick question assuming as the rear de mist is latching, that means it runs through a timer relay ?? Yay or nay ? Or maybe ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 A latching switch does what it says and latches in the ON position until it is operated again when it goes back to OFF. So no, a latching switch wouldn't run through a timer relay. These have a MOMentary switch that just pulses a signal to them in order for them to click ON for the timed period.

Chambo110 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Oops 😊 That’s what I actually meant. Really should proof read before I send appreciate the very quick reply 👍 next question will probably be hazard lights. All 3 of the switches in this panel just crumbled while I was removing dash I have seen landymanlukes write up, so will try decipher using that thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaklander Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Well this won't be much help but my hazard switch (now using a Carling Contura V) has the following connections: G - IGN switched +12v P - Permanent +12V GW - to RH side indicators GR - to LH side indicators LGN - to turn switch common LG - to flasher relay plus an earth and illumination Not sure if your switch will easily swap in.
