    Question Scary Red Switch

    Hey,

    I've recently bought a 1998 2.8TD GU with a few extras; dual batt, comressor, rear 12v/cig lighter.

    I was familiarising myself with the dash buttons and I found a switch under the steering wheel (not the bonnet, fuel flap or steering adjust pulls). It is like a jet fighters missile launch, bright red flip over cover and then a on/off little metal flick switch under.

    What does this do?

    I'm a little scard to flick it in case it's an ejector seat or something (I mean will do something bad to the car)

    On a lesser concern as there is no big red cover, on the dash to left of steering wheel I've got 2 switches, one is for the ARB air compressor, the other (left side) I'm not sure? It isn't the duel batt, that is down to the left of the gear stick, similar to the cig lighter.

    Thanks

    Corey

    Really the only way to tell is trace it back to whatever it's wired into.

    My guess is a fuel cut-off.

    Mate, It definitely aint a factory switch, the only way you'll know is either to trace it or try it, If ya try it first video it for the rest of us to watch.
