Hi all,
I've just purchased my first 90 and at risk of seeming a complete idiot have a couple of questions I'm hoping people here can help me with. I gather my beast is a bit of a bitsa, it's a 1987 pickup that was originally a V8 Petrol and is now a TD5. I've just had a local garage replace the brakes for me and they found the rear axel was from a 110...it's had various upgrades and modifications by previous owners which I'm slowly getting to know. My queries are about the various lights. There are three metal flick switches, 2 on the left hand side of the dash and one on the right which I gather are for the various additional LED lights. The two switches on the left appear to be for the lights on the roof bar; straight lights and fogs; at any rate I flicked them and those are the lights that came on! The one on the left of the roof isn't currently working but as I can see condensation on the inside I'm guessing water ingress is probably the issue. I'm assuming the single flick switch is for the larger pair of lights mounted in the bumper bar as so far I've failed to get them to turn on. When you flick the switch I can hear what sounds like a small motor starting up (?), and a tiny red bulb in the end of the switch flashes.
Am I being thick? Is there something else I should be doing? I've had the engine running and all other lights on including the standard fogs on the headlamp stalk. There's a photo attached showing this switch and also the Landy from the front so you can see the lights I mean.
My second question is probably more straightforward...what is the rocker switch on the dash showing a lamp and a clock? I've tried engaging it in both positions (top down, bottom down) and haven't noticed anything happening anywhere?!
All suggestions gratefully recieved! Single flick switch I assume is for the bumper lights above, and what is the rocker switch below? Centre bumper lights not coming on
The factory switch mounted in three pack assembly to the right of steering column, is dome and dash light on/off switch.
The non-factory switch may control your front bumper lights, but you'll have to do some investigative work, chasing wires. Spot lights that large would normally use a relay set-up. So, look under the hood/bonnet for non-factory looking relays or wiring.
