Dashboard switch wiring
I had my dashboard replaced, and the mechanic didn't notice that the replacement dash switches were not the same as the original car. So, I am missing the info switch and the front fog light switch. What does replacing these entail? Did the wiring harness be/w the years and makes vary?
I have a 1998 S70 T5, but I don't know what the donor dash was from. I am assuming he just used the wires and switches that were on the dashboard I got from a wrecking yard. |
The wiring should be the same and the switches should also be color coded to the back of the switch.
|
If it's color coded, is the reinstallation as easy as taking it out of the old one and just popping it into place on the new, into the exact same slot?
|
Yes it should be that easy. Remove the flat plate where the switch should be and the harness should be right there.
|
That is exactly how it is in our S70. But... hopefully nothing was done to your trip computer. If he did something to swap out a part in that, you may have to get the trip computer re-programed. Expensive!!!
|
The trip computer and other info items are niceties, and so I can live without them if they came at some extra price.
Well, I'm not going to worry about that yet. I am hoping for the best! |
yay, my info switch has been reinstalled and works. Unfortunately, the fog lights aren't coming on. I thought they used to work ...
I guess I'll take out the bulb and check the filament. Aside from that, what else can I check? The green led light above the switch comes on, so I know that the switch is working. I noticed on ebay there are fog light relays. Is there a relay for both sides or just one? |
Should be 1 relay for the fog lights.
|
Check for power at the foglight with a test light.
