Hello! New T25 owner here! Going through everything and making todo lists of what to fix and what to upgrade, found this device hanging around in the fuse box, not sure what it is- hard to trace the wires so thought I would see if anyone recognises it??

Cheers!!

Does that rod going down attach to the pedal? If so I'd guess it's a switch.

Doesn't attach to anything, and the rod doesn't seem to move at all- or at least easily...

It is just hanging by the wires... I will add more pics..

It does click back and forth kind of like a turn signal stalk of some kind- may be aftermarket?? These ever have cruise control?

I will have to dig into it more probably, My fog light switch is missing as well- seems like this is something different though...

What are these? The yellow circled one lights up, the other bit in purple circle doesn't seem to move at all? Is it supposed to?

Ok, I still need to trace the wires a bit, but looks like some kind of cruise control was installed...

Cable is broken though..
