Random switch!

Post by Owent2005 »

Evening all,

Just after a quick pointer please, does anyone have any idea what the ringed switch does please or indeed the thing just to the left of the switch?
Thanks,
Owen

Looks like someone fitted an aftermarket immobiliser/ alarm system at one point. Very popular back in the day. Definitely not standard.

Or has/had an electric fan and this was a manual over-ride, hence the warning light? Is that a keyswitch to the left, possibly from an immobiliser? None of it is standard of course.

My first Capri had a very similar set up but in the glove box what was fitted from new at the dealers and it was the alarm . Under the dash might be a black looking box it was attached to .
