Odd Tvr Control Unit ?

Can someone tell me the purpuse of this TVR control unit?
The straps are marked Haz, Fog, Lights

Well it's labelled 'Chimaera Dashboard Switches Unit'.

Or is that too obvious

Looks like a sticky tape dispenser, coded for repairs of said units

I'd guess its the control unit for the Hazzards, Fog light and light switch, they all have ribbon cables going to them!

On cars with the later switch gear, the three switches for lights (side, tail and headlamps), hazard lights and the fog light don't actually switch the lights on in a conventional sense: they return a signal to the box you have and that does the actual switching. The ribbon cables you see are all identical and so were marked up in the factory to identify which cable goes to which switch.

Cheers, that I didn't know.
