Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Have been trying to get everything electrical to work on my car. This blog article http://tr7beans.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/dhc-report-nr-51-switching-attention.html by Beans shows pictures of the master light switch and the fog light switch. Has anybody got a picture of how the heated rear window switch should look. This is mine.Also looking at the wiring diagram there should there be a heated rear window warning light. Where is this located on the car. The switch has a hole in it that would allow a light to be inserted from behind. There is no obvious spare wiring for such a light visible at present as I have yet to take the top off the dashboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I recognise the switch but it looks strange when it's not in context :-/Don't fancy taking my switch out much either as it's abugger to get everything back in and located right.Isn't yours a soft top tho? Presumably you are fitting one for your hardtop which has a FHC rear screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the switch have a separate warning light or just share the glow from the switch panel lighting along the bottom edge of the switch?

Raider Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Can't check on my FHC as it's under a cover and without a battery!Surely it must have it's own light in the switch though just like the foglight switch and the hazard warning switch.

Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Neither the foglight switch or the hazard warning switch, in my car, show warning lights just the have their names highlighted below.. Another couple of things to fix then.So there should separate warning lights in switches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 OK, tomorrow I go and check on my 2 TR7s.I am sure both of these switches have lights - your fog light switch should light up I am sure and the hazard light should have a red panel that lights up?Will confirm tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Warning light is in the switch, well actually in the connector behind the switch. Switch looks like the correct type.The connectors of this switch-panel are part of the instrument loom an the same on all (later model) TR7's.Connector sits behind the switch-panel, and in your case (DHC) is unused, wiring should be purple/brown/white.In the picture below the connector for the heated rear screen is on top , secured in pace with a cable tie (yes this is a DHC too).There should be a black wire with female spade connector somewhere in the back of the car (probably on the RH rear inner wing area).
