hi,

I'm stripping out the unwanted parts of the Sierra wiring loom and have come across part 133 (lamp switch). As its over a year since I removed it from the donor I can't remember what it was. I did label up most of them but as it was constantly raining whilst I did it, this one must have passed me by.

Can anyone help ?

Cheers

It is the haynes reference, the switch has upto 5 connections depending on which model of car,etc and they are numbered 30,31,55,56,58 on the drawings. I haven't found the switch yet and I've had 3 days at it !!!! The electrics are doing my head in more than the front frame did !

Thanks for your inputs

Perhaps it`s the interior light delay relay, a yellow one, or the dash light dimmer switch in the instrument binnacle?

Peter,

Part 133 as labeled in the Haynes manual, is the headlight on/off switch on the steering column.

You will need to keep the wires for it.

Colour codes would also be useful.

Is this an 89> Car?

The car is a K reg 92/93 and the colours are red,brown,brown and black and grey.

Is it a black, rectangular conector near the steering column/cluster?

I will check the diagrams tonight but I suspect it will be the "Lights on" warning chimer, which is a black box about 1" x 1" x 2" with a grill on the top.

I've inserted 2 attachments, the first is the plug and the second is our new puppy chewing my loom !!

The colours match the light stalk which is combined with the wiper stalks.

As I won't be using the wipers do I need this plug ?

you need a two position light switch of some sort.

Theres not a lot of point fitting the full stalk just for lights.
