Can anyone tell me, what these switches do? On each side of the main beam control light. |

Assuming the one on the left is a 'turn to operate' type, it could fulfil the same function as on other early A series vehicles, which was to choose on which side of the car the parking lights are illuminated. Is the other switch a 'pull to operate' type? If so, it could be for the wipers, but not too sure about that...  EirikJ wrote: Can anyone tell me, what these switches do?

Thank you Ken. Yes, the one on the left can be turned to each side. It has an arrow on it. So you are probably right, although I seem to remember the parking lights came on with the light switch? But I don't recall if it was both sides or just one. I have the same switch on two of my 2CV's from the 80's, but in those cars it turns on the hazard warning lights. The one to the right is a pull-to-operate. So the wiper switch are just for one speed then. I'm using the AMI6 instrument housing in my "AMI6-rolling-chassis-with-2Cv-body" build

That switch on the left with the arrow on is a three-position switch: off to the middle, and then left or right for the parking lights on just one side of the car. I have the same on my H-van and AZU. Presumably the idea was you'd not drain the battery so much when parking on a road. |
