General dashboard lights / switches

[timgarman]

Hi folks

I'm sure I've seen this info on the forum before. But can anyone tell me on a RHD 500-F what the switches and lights layout is on the dashboard.

Don't need the speedo, just what goes in the holes in the dash.

Thanks

Tim

PS: Wiring almost complete, will post some picks soon.

(switches) (warning lamps)
"wiper" "lights" "light in speedo" "blue-main beam" "green indicator"

in that order left to right for RHD

Thanks Peter.

Hi Peter

Just checked the car. That takes care of the 5 holes to the left of the wheel. But there's one to the right? Or is that ignition?

The two lights are each side of the speedo.Sorry, I assumed you knew the ignition or blanking cover was the middle hole....isn't it bigger?
Good news though, you must be approaching the finishing line.

Hi Peter

Sorry to go over this again, but can I clarify?

From left to right on the dash you said:

"wiper" [ignition] "lights" "light in speedo" "blue-main beam" [speedo] "green indicator."

[I've added in ignition and speedo to be clear.] Correct me if I'm wrong.

What does the "lights" after the speedo do? One of the leavers (top or bottom?) on the steering column is for lights too?

I've got some other wiring questions but I'll start a new thread.

Thanks

Tim

That seems right Tim. The light toggle activates the column switch., which then has it's three positions. The switch for the speedo illumination only comes on when the light toggle is activated. Later cars have a blanking plug where my ignition is.
The blue light indicates main beam on, the green one flashes with indicators.
