Heater blower switch

[ssnax]

Well after several months of ownership and looking at various pictures of other peoples non rusty t25's i stumbled across a picture of of a heater panel ...and discovered that little hole next to the levers should have a knob in it to adjust the blower speed..
Knob ordered and delivered...job done ..sort of
I know in the near future im going to have remove the dash more than likely to fix or replace the blower motor!....so i checked i could remove the heater panel and levers ok ...yep no problem but i also noticed there's nothing actually plugged into the back of the actual blower switch ....sigh.

So my question ...there seems to be 4 spade end connections ,what plugs into them, are they individual wires,is it a multi plug,what colours go where....can anyone help with a bit of advice of what i should be looking for in the forest of wires?

Thanks

Did my 1985 one recently & the wires connected to a plug the same shape & colour as the switch. It was a tight fit but gentle levering removed it ok.

Of course the chances are it has been "hot wired" likely due to the switch being damaged by excess current pulled through it by a failing blower motor. If that is the case (and only guessing here of course) you will likely need a new switch, a new resistor pack and a new motor, non of which is expensive, but a faff to strip the dash down to fit the motor and resistor pack.

Thanks Ghost,yes im pretty much thinking that will be the course of events myself! but im ok with that ,the dash will be coming out for a general cleanup/tidy up as one of my winter projects anyway just thought id get a jump on what wires connected to the back of the switch
Just being a bit lazy really its all been about rust and paint so far so haven't bought a haynes for it yet.
