It's official, I am a complete donkey!
In putting my VX back together I plugged my HRW switch into the wrong connector as the correct one (the one that I marked HRW when I took it out) ended up hidden under the dashboard. I've known for some time that something was wrong but it was only today that I managed to track down the fault. The really embarrassing thing is that I even extended the wires on the incorrect plug when I did my boost gauge re-shuffle over the week-end. :oops:
Anyway, the point of all this is that I now have a connector with 5 wires (black, yellow, red, grey and green) that looks like a switch is supposed to plug into it on the right of the heat/vent controls and I have no idea what it is for. Maybe it is not used because some of the wires go to another connecter that has nothing plugged in. However, if you do plug the HRW switch into the said connector and turn on the switch it blows fuse 12 in an instant and take out the indicators with it. Not a great trick if you happen to be on the road at the time - someone came flying past me as I was preparing to turn right. Any suggestions about the myterious connector please? What switches do you VX guys have to the right of the heater controls?
