He all,

Happy Memorial Day weekend. Here in MI, it's been a long winter!

I'm giving my 964 an RS style clean interior and part of the process is removing all the sound dampening and carpets. During this, I found a switch which looks aftermarket to me, but I want to check with the board on it. I was surprised to find it and I'm not sure what it is. I don't want to just rip it out without knowing more about what it's for....very wise.

The location is under the passenger side of the dash board. This weekend is when the dried glue etc comes out and the Rennline full race mats go in. Looking forward to the cleaner look!


Here's a picture:







Could this have been for Nitrous or some other aftermarket application? How do I determine what it's for? Any help is appreciated.

And the requisite car shot:

Maybe a cut off switch? Have you tried starting the car after flicking the switch? Can you see where the wires lead to? It could be a switch to override the oil cooler fan, but I think that should only need 2 wires, and not three like this.

Nice E-Type!

Wow really nice E type, sorry no idea on the switch.

IM(limited)E crappy looking stuff like that is either aftermarket audio or alarm.

If it's the second, you need to be careful before removing because you never really know how it's hooked up; injudicious surgery can result in a car that doesn't run

That isn't factory in my view. It looks like a security measure.


Best to trace them back and report where they go. I have a wiring diagram I can check for you.

+1 Not really sure but like others have said trace the wires back and see what there spliced into and go from there.

Great looking E Type. Would love of a few pictures of it when you get a chance

Looks to be an owner fitted cheapo immobiliser. I'd check where those wires go though!

As others have said that E Type is stunning

Great to see another white + burgundy 964. I guess you'll change the burgundy for black like I did when I did my strip out?
