Search is down so I thought I'd ask the question.

I want to run a Low/High boost switch and the spare one that sits beside the boost gauge with the working light looks good.

Pulled the switch last night to find three wires connected.
So I was wondering if anybody had played with this switch and where the wires terminate.

I believe rumour suggests that Noble were going to make this a Boost switch but didn't bother in the end.

Matt.

P.S. I have already run some wires through the tunnel to the front and rear.

Matty,

I like you're thinking mate, especially running extra cables. I set my low boost on my boost adjuster thingy that came with the boost controller (not that that helps but may be an idea?)
I've just managed to get mine in to have the power steering hoses done, along with MOT service and all round spanner check ready for the off. Getting close now and thoroughly looking forward to it.

How's the rest of the car shaping up?

I maybe wrong here, but didn't only the M400 have two switches on the center console? The one switch does actually do something and that is fog light?

Well, This is where I'm up to Simon

Had a bit of a "probably the best" moment last night.
Still trying to think what the best can refer to at the moment as I'm having a bit of a procurement issue with my cylinder heads Lol.
Still positive though smile
Bondy, 3R,s deffo have the switch aswell.

Guess I'll try and trace the wires back to the fuse box and do some deduction.

Gat all that crappy heat shielding below the I/C box changed while you have the chance. I think you had too much lager ( probably )..... put your uprated engine mounts on the right way up !

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on, I converted the rear fog swtich on the dash to turn on a set or rear back up lites a while ago, but recently was able to get the other switch and wire it directly to the existing spot lite relay inside the fuse block so that it can turn on a pair of driving lites in the front......

Running the switch is easy, if you want it to light up like the fog lite switch that already has power:

Run a separate wire from the CENTER pin (output) of the switch to the back of the fuse block, and splice it to 85 (blk/wht) wire directly at the relay.

Lower pin get on switch gets jumpered to Brown at the other switch (Ground), and top position gets attached to the top position (12v when parking lights are on). Alternatively, if you need this switch to be on when the parking lights are not on, you need to grab a 12v switched (back of radio has one)

This way, turning the switch on sends 12v down the (Blk/wht) wire energizing the coil on the relay. it also lights up the light on the switch too.

Lastly, you need to sever the connection for the (wht) wire at the relay and run that side 86 to ground so that flipping the switch activates the relay.

Now you are using the existing relay to activate the spot light circuit, and send 12v down both Orange wires, that are already present at the front of the car at the grey connectors right by the headlites.

The spot light relay is third row down relay on the left, labeled (Relay I)

Anyways..... thats what I did on my car..... now I'm looking for a solid pair of LEF driving lights to install....

I'll have you know that the mounts are the right way up and the new heatshielding is in the garage ready to be fitted, once I've finished scraping all the old stuff off which seems like it was glued on with a conrete substitute.

Apparently they are done........ And will be delivered back to me in the morning...... with a great big bucket full of humble pie from the company that done them for me.

If for any chance they don't arrive.........just watch the ITV news around luchtime. I will be the Norfolk man arrested who went mad with the Roush valve springs, Catapult and a Fidanza Frizbee.
