Headlamp Switch

[Andy]

Im just wiring up my Mk2 dash into my mk1 and have come across a random wire.Ive connected all the wires up on the switch and it all works fine.Just there is a single black wire thats left on the mk2 switch and no wire on mk1 loom to connect it to.What is it for and what does it go to please???

[Graeme]

Its an ignition live, is it not the one that illuminates the headlamp switch???

[Andy]

Thanks mate i was thinking it might be for that,but which wire would it connect to?

[Graeme]

I'd connect it to any nearby black wire its just to light the switch once you turn the ignition on iirc

Yeah it will be andy as when i did my dash swap years ago i wasnt quite as technically minded as i am now so i just left it and so it didnt illuminate
