Toggle switch.

[Thomas McCormick]

I wanted to thank everybody for their answers to my previous post. They nailed it for me. This is a great site. I paid off my Cruiser last week, which has gotten me motivated to spend more time with her. I have another this time, unimportant question. I have a simple toggle switch on my dash up or down. It doesn't do anything. Does anyone know what it was for? Thanks, no hurry, it just bugs me.

Up down toggle? Aftermarket?

Up/down toggle is a PO added optional confusion generator

Does it have wires to and from it? Where do the wires go if it does?

My guess is for a reverse light... Or fog lights... Or electric fuel pump... Or interior light... Or just simply it was out there to fill a hole if there are no wires to it


Pics would definitely help

It was the dash controls for the cage mounted rocket launcher.

I think he is in USA ... That option is area specific .... And only came as a dealer option in middle eastern areas

BTW the only toggle switch ever for the 40 was the changeover trailer switch... I have never seen one on a USA cruiser... I will look for a picture

While looking for this diagram picture (posted by @yuurei ) I so happened upon an actual switch being sold on ebay... To give you rarity ... This is the first actual switch I have seen

The actual name it seems is the trailer socket changeover switch


If this is what you have then yes it's oem... But... Most likely you have an aftermarket

That is the switch that I have, and I do have the factory trailer socket Never knew the deal there

@melvinjo

If you get the opportunity ... Please post a pic of your dash ... The switch... And socket

Thanks

I thought the switch was beside the socket?
