Re: WHAT DOES THIS SWITCH DO?
Its a post modern version of the Wizard of Oz. You follow the Yellow Brick Road (Yellow wires), along the way you make lots of new friends (RX8OC Members), avoiding the evil witch who wants you Ruby Slippers (Everyone is after your switch, don't trust them). Eventually you get to Oz where you find the promise of help was false and the Wizard is a short man who tells lies and can't offer any help at all (You take it to the Mazda dealer where the service manager tells a load of bullsh!t).
I feel the need for a low budget movie.

Re: WHAT DOES THIS SWITCH DO?
Ah, very familiar with that switch, seen one before. It's a rotary/piston selector. You'll find when switched over, the redline is much lower and fuel economy doulbles.
Mildly modified.

Re: WHAT DOES THIS SWITCH DO?
That's for some additional lighting that has probably since been removed. Unless you've managed to notice any neon glows from anywhere when you turn it on

Re: WHAT DOES THIS SWITCH DO?
My friends 206 has loads of little add-on switches, his turns the subs on and off in the boot. He also has one to control the TV, PS2 and amps so maybe something like that used to be installed.

Never say sorry. Just say you have learnt from your experienece.
I think it's a switch to a light bulb that a person (man) hasn't replaced.

Re: WHAT DOES THIS SWITCH DO?
