If it wasn't the "self destruct" button, may be post a photo. |

The problem with pressing it to see what it does is that on an oldie it probably doesn't do anything anymore... |

Quite likely, but not knowing is nerve wracking |

Its an on off switch.im pretty certain its an original fitting as the cut out in the dashboard is perfect for it.im pretty sure someone on here has the same vehicle and will instantly identify what it is |

Have you tried it? If so and it didn't do anything, then what if anything doesn't work. Do you have a wiring diagram for the car? _________________ 1957 ford popular |

Can you take a photo ?... if you have problems uploading, ask, and I am certain someone will take it via e-mail and upload it. |

If you can see the wiring, compare the colours to the wiring diagram.
(but it being a BL product, that might not provide a definitive answer.....) |
