Title: Mystery Connector 191 972 703 B
Post by: Stuart1971 on 02 September 2011, 20:39: Whilst routing around this evening I found a 3 pin connector behind the main lights switch (coded 191 972 703 B). Its not connected to anything. Does anyone know what this is for? Tried searching the maintenance section first and yahoo but no joy.

Thanks :huh:

When you've had a gutsful you short out all 3 pins and stand back !. :laugh:

Post by: Stuart1971 on 02 September 2011, 21:47: Cheers for that.

On investigation looks like the light switch has been replaced, but not with the original height adjustable switch included. I can understand why looking at prices for s/hand replacements on ebay. Never mind gold I'm thinking of investing in these babies!!

Shame you didn't discover you needed this sooner as Ive sold two in the past couple of months for pocket change.

Post by: Stuart1971 on 03 September 2011, 19:37: Looking at the light units I cannot see any motors that would suggest these were adjustable.

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 04 September 2011, 00:26: This would explain the unused connector block then. Not many did have them fitted as standard to be fair.
