Lindz Member 13 Member For: 11y 2m 4d Gender: Male Posted 17/04/14 09:03 PM Share Posted 17/04/14 09:03 PM (edited) Hey guys, first post here. I bought an fg xr6 turbo ute a week ago and I'm loving it so far! I found a switch the day I picked it up on the steering column near the ignition barrel. It looks like a light switch, but I have no clue what it's for or what it does. I can't find it in the manual or any reference to it on google or here. Can anyone help as to what it is?Thanks, Lindsay Edited 17/04/14 09:07 PM by Lindz Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88025-help-fg-xr6t-ute-strange-switch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be the old locking switch for hard cover?

Mine had soft cover also Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88025-help-fg-xr6t-ute-strange-switch/#findComment-1466099 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do a brilliant job of increasing market value.Some people alledge they dont exist. These people are just jealous because they dont have one. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88025-help-fg-xr6t-ute-strange-switch/#findComment-1466159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
