Switch question

Postby specialk4430 » Sun Jan 07, 2018 6:57 pm

So, somebody gave me a 1978 spider project basically cuz they knew I was a car guy and they were never going to get it going themselves. While inventory-ing everything it needs, i found something that left me confused. What is the little switch next to the hazard light switch, just below the radio? What does it do? I havent had a good battery in thisd car yet, so i have no idea. Thanks.

Someone may have wired in a fan switch - i.e. to manually turn the radiator fan on. Once you get a battery installed, hit the switch and see what happens!
