edbell2005 · Aug 20, 2007

any help would be most appreciated.
I'v just recently got me 1st defender and i'm still on my way around, tryin to work out what works, wat doesnt etc etc.
On the panel where the controls for the rear wiper and cigarette lighter are,
theres 2 small switches which when clicked a lil red light on each switch turns on.WAT THE HELL AM I TURNING ON or OFF?!!

they probably are for something boriing like extra lights - dunno why you have 2 of them - might be something exciting like air lockers for the diffs maybe?

Mondo's got two in his...one turns on the fryers an the other starts the chimes.

edbell2005 · Aug 20, 2007

update----when i flick 'em on theres a click sound, kinda more like a poppin, that could be comin through the speakers.ALTHOUGH i have removed the speakers, so not sure where the pop/click sound could be comin from.i was wishin for it to be the on/off for chav repelant.ahhhh can only dream.....

Pikey · Aug 20, 2007

If the previous owner just cut the wires off when he removed the lights they may be earthing when you flick the switch. Trace the wires and find out where they go.

sounds like it was one of those ex Walls defenders, theres quite a few around these days - the right hand one will be for the Mr Whippy machine the other is for the child magnet.

ah (slaps forehead) so thats what they are for, well i'm glad thats finally resolved.

It's probably worth the orginal poster taking them off and putting them on ebay as they might be worth a few pound, especially as they are very very rare.
