2a Floor dip switch

[Ed Straker]

my dip switch now only has 2 settings low beam or flicker off no beam.

Is this an off the shelf landrover item or a Military special?

Not sure if this can be rebuilt or not.

Any advice appreciated

Cheers

Jamie

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe its a off the shelf item, and still available...from, this place, and this place and this place also....

Cheers Juddy,

Must the placement not the switch itself that was different.

Will have a look at the usual suspects

Yes the switch is standard just the 2A military version placed it between the brake and clutch where a scivilian it was placed left of the clutch.

My GS has it in the usual place ie to left of clutch pedal. Maybe it's just FFR's ( or even just yours) that is modified?

Odd!,

my S2 CR is left of clutch but 2A 109 and 2A 88 both in the middle, which I thought is the standard army modification.

Any other thoughts from anyone?

My 2a Workshop also on the left hand side, as was the 2B too.....

Hi Ed Stracker

The contacts within the switch are most likely dirty (amount of hb use ) try using/spraying a contact cleaner into the unit and operating without power on then when spray is everaped power up and retry

Both my 63 and 64 GS's have the dipswitch situated between the clutch and the brake. The repositioning could quite possibly have been an Army mod as I seem to remember somewhere in the instruction guidelines where drivers were instructed to place their left foot (when not in use for gear changing) flat on the floor and not rest it on the clutch. Having the dipswitch on the left would have, in the Army's point of view, been detrimental to this teaching. The Mk3 Inter had its dipswitch located in a similar position, between the pedals.

cheers Muddy,

tried that a few times, no luck.

New one should arrive in  the mail today along with a new solenoid as the starting is a bit hit and miss.

The Series 2 Comm?recon car did have the dimmer switch on the left of the clutch pedal
