Is a rear fog lamp and that switch original equipment on a Swiss MX-5 or has it been added?
It was original equipment, the car came with it, and it works. The switch works (function wise), the switch just doesn’t light up.
So, the tell tail light on the instrument cluster comes on when the rear fog lamp is on but the switch doesn’t illuminate with the rest of the dashboard illumination when the side lights are turned on, yes?
Are the 4 wires going to the connecter plug White/Black, Red/Black, Blue/Black and Red (or black if a 1.6).
I’m a little bit surprised to see 5 terminals on the switch. I have 3 switches here all with only 4….
Being as the beam is pointing to the left on “your” switch, I’d guess that it’s for a front fog lamp, although I’d also expect the beam to be angled down slightly if it was.
This is a dual fog lamp switch from an NB.
To be honest, I am not sure if it lights up on the instrument cluster, but it does light up in the rear, as in the cabling is correct and working. My car is a 1.6, but I’ll have to get back to you on the wire colors.
To be honest I also got a second Switch, which in all honesty might be the one from the NB (not sure, since it was some time ago) but it didn’t match any of the pins or form of the current one.
But the switch doesn’t illuminate in any scenario. I also noticed your switches have a white plastic surrounding the pins, mine’s blue.
