Rocker switch on steering cowl.

Post by gelert1 »

Hello all

I hope you guys can advise me - there is a rocker switch on steering cowl of my 85 joker and I cant figure out what its for, looks like its an original item and is about 15mm diameter with what looks like a small indicator light. A simple on / off but for what? Thanks.

That's exactly what it is - just got to work out what it does now, I haven't got a leisure battery fitted at the moment so I imagine it is something to do with that. Thanks very much for your help.

Its for a heated seat switch.

E D I T: Just re-read your post, the heated seat switch, which fits in a specific upper steering cowl, is a rectangular rocker switch. You said `diameter` is yours round ?

Further E D I T: just checked the link, its a non-VW retro fit, I`ll get my coat ... !
