Which indicator/light switch do I need?
« on: July 05, 2017, 02:30:40 PM »
Hi

I was fitting my new ignition switch today, then found that the indicator switch unit is broken inside so the bit with the switches isn't attached to the clamp bit anymore. :(

The switch has 3 connector blocks, all with 4 contacts- does this mean any 126 switch unit with the same number of contacts will fit (and work)?

Thanks for any advice you guys can give a newbie!

Short answer is yes!

Presumably yours is an early car (round-ish instrument binnacle and single speed wipers) with connections as per the photo below?  If so, the Club may still have some brand new switches available and if not I still have a couple...

Hi midvillesb

Yes, it is an early one- thread here- http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10879.0

Those are the same sort of connectors that mine has. Please let me know about the switches you have.  :)

That's a great project you've got going on there!

Here's a link to my original post about the new column switches - http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7049.0

I must admit I'd forgotten that I still had a few left - I haven't sold one since 2013...

Just read that thread- wow- that is dedication and commitment to the 126 cause indeed!

I am interested in one of your switches- I'll send you a PM!
