ON OFF switch

[S15 SILVIA]

Hi all.
Know i should just wait and see what it is when i get the car, but wondered anyway, if anyone knows what this on off switch is for, looks factory fitted??!!!
Ive noticed looking at a few picture of other S15's, that there is just a blanking plate there, and in the owners manual, it doesnt list anything there.
Otherwise im guessing its been added at a later date.
Cheers all
Mike

Rear foglight switch is there on mine, might be for the same thing

Yeh but that pic was taken when the car was in japan! They don't have a rear fog standard do they?
Just looks factory, that's why I ask.

I want that switch! *goes to search FAST*

Would be perfect for a foglight because as you say, it looks stock.

on mine its for interior lights under seats and dash. it must have been a factory option

What do you mean exactly? Is it factory? Is it the exact same switch as mine?

Yeh does look neat, only thing is the switches are supose to be illuminated to pass an mot, as a means of letting you know the fogs on! Lol ( learnt this on a previous jap import I had)
Wouldnt mind knowing what it does, and if it's factory, as if it's for general pap, I could use it for fog, save cutting more holes in the dash!

if you guys do find a number for the switch let me know. That would be great for a couple of things I have planned. It would be even better if it lit up.

its a switch that when your misses is in the car its to start or stop her yapping

Ahh yeah, I forgot about that one.
Theres something else i could use it for too thinking about it

Will do

For and MOT the fog light switch needs to indicate when it is actually on, ie a light - so it wouldn't pass a MOT..

 

[meddler]

the indicator light is in the dash isn't it?

 

[Toby]

Are they? The cars don't require one where there built so I don't see why they would have,..

IIRC there was a thread on this and this was the answer! Blue interior lighting was a factory option, and I believe this is the switch for it!



Im pretty sure there isnt a warning light for the fog light in the dash, you need a switch with a warning light on to pass an MOT :thumbs: Although im sure you could make it so a warning light is in the dash (use a spare one like HICAS)


Edit: There is a fog warning light in the dash its just not used!

Taken from Nicelys site...

'You may find that you have never seen them lit before! Some of the socket holes will be empty due to either being blanked-off or certain equipment not being fitted. Two examples are the HICAS and fog warning lights.'

I thought there was a indicator light for the fogs.

WTF! Why would something like that be an option? Seems a bit odd, why would anyone want blue interior lighting?

 

[DeanS15]

some cars that were sold in northern japan (iirc the sapporo area) were fitted with rear fogs as they get snow and fog in that region. could be that but it would be easy to find out.

 

[S15 SILVIA]

Yeh flick it on and off!
Lol
Damn wish I could get my hands on the car!

I thought the factory rear fog used a different lighting stalk behind the steering wheel, and had a warning light in the dash binnacle?

I used the hole where the little coin holder thing goes in the centre console to fit my fog light switch. It's from some other Nissan, and drops straight in the hole. To get around the warning illumination, I changed the switch lighting to a red LED, so it lights up red when turned on, but doesn't illuminate when you put the lights on anymore.
