Hey after recently stripping my interior i noticed that this wasnt being used for anything? i pritty sure it was just laying there under the carpet near the handbrake.



what is it and does it go anywhere?

Thanks

light switch from the door

u mean the switch that makes the interior light go on when the door is open?....both my driver n passenger door have one...

any other ideas?

Sounds like may be a handbrake warning light switch ... fitted to late clubmans.

If so, there should be a square warning light in the dash padding...

is it connected to anything as it could be a spare or the handbrake as suggested

hey yea i have a 78 clubman.... and i do have the warning light, Park Brake....would you know where and how to connect this....it cant just lay there can it?

cheers

nah it was just laying there near the handbrake.

It' been a while since I've had a late clubman...

but if memory serves there is "tab" that sticks out from the side of the handbrake lever... and a corresponding bracket bolted to the floor in which the switch should push into...
The tab would then push againt the switch turning on or off appropriately.

You should be able to test the switch to see if it works just by pushing in and out. (with igintion on)( ? may have to earth it against something metal ?)

But short answer - don't need it - all it does is light up the warning light.
