hello :) whilst fitting my new boost gauge tonight i came accross this behind the drivers trim panel just next to the fuse box. the connections look too good to be someone bodging something but I dont have a clue where it goes as it looks to go in to the loom!?

Any ideas!?

 

Rear fog lights is my guess

3 wires for a foglight?

 

Looks more like a hidden kill-switch.

That's along the lines I was thinking - or maybe an old fashioned "cut-out" switch for added immobilization/security......:yes:

 

As for rear fogs, would they not require the extra wire for the "tell tale" dash-board light? It's an MOT requirement for a light to indicate the rear fogs are on, I believe.......

ive got a switch for my fog lights next to my light "cluster" this looks like a mapling job but that gos straight in to the wiring behind there. i darednt flick this secret one in case a parachute came out the back or something!! ahaaha

Its for the flux capacitor....Only certain zeds were produced with it.....

What happens you you turn it it, with engine running. if its not rear fogs, maybe a kill switch to prevent any theft......

It looks very much the OEM switch for a pop up rear bulletproof sheet and if you toggle it further two machine guns come out of the front grill :thumbup:

Factory extras I think they were :yes:

Follow the wires. Document your journey so we all may learn something from your adventure into the unknown.

im hoping for possible oil slicks out the back or even a stealth mode but who knows!

it was behind a screwed on panel so cant be used much whatever it is!

Wow thats a sexy gauge and pod! Hope you're happy with them mate :)

Not sure on the 3 wires part but I have a switch in that location which kills my fuel pump as anti-theft :)

would that be the switch for the ecu? i know sometimes when they have been re-mapped they can have a switch for swapping between mode 1 and mode 2.

Looks a bit like one of mine for a switched ECU map, cable shouldn't really be that long though ... Follow the cable, or look at the ECU end anyway.

had similar on my white zed and it was for operating some valves in the boost lines to increase boost but not sure if they had 3 wires, other thought could be something to do with your alarm maybe i know older units used to have a over ride switch on them

Just try it out man ;)

Stop pressing it, your making my TV change channels !! :cursing:
