Switch in my Glove Box!!

Good day to you all, fairly new on here in fact this is my first post!!

I recently swapped my Pulsar GTi-R for a 92K Corrado VR6.

But any way I was just hunting around in my glove boy and came across a little switch at the back top right! :shock: ! Any one know if its meant to be there or has anyone else got one and know what it does?

Cheers

take off the dash under trays and follow the wires. might be some poxy cheap immobiliser.

could be the re-set button for the alarm to re progran it!

You got rid of the GTI-R for a Corrado??? Those cars are awesome....OK, not much to look at, but 240bhp + 4WD in a light shell = ballistic!

Sounds like an alarm over-ride of some sort

you often hear of people wiring the ignition switch through an additional switch to allow for more security. ie:- this second switch would need to be closed to allow the ignition switch to start the car. People use common switches on the dash sometimes, say the foglight switch, so its not obvious to a thief, they also hide them.

 

Try flicking the switch (ohhh uh missus) and see if this cuts the ignition. That would be my best guess, if not simply follow the wires as Phat said.

 

welcome BTW :D

I don't have one.

 

does it look 'homemade' or OE?

It does something with the alarm but I dont want to mess around with it too much just in case!! It makes the alarm LED flash when its switched and the engine is running.
