VY Head light switch

[Flat_White]

Just removed the headlight switch in my VY today to see if i could locate the foglight wire, i managed to remove it completely, but now that it is reinstalled, it is really loose and can just be pulled out so easily.

Anyone know how to fix?

Plastic clip on the switch or in the dash?

My god, i feel so peeved with my self for breaking something which was in perfect working condtion until i messed with it. Damn, i hope there is an easy/cheap fix.

I had my switch changed to the one with fog light pull out type. After it was fitted by a auto sparkie it was easy to pull back out again. After looking at it the clips looked ok so I just push extra hard on it & it finally clipped in tight.

I take it yours was the type with foglight pull out switch seeing as you were looking for a foglight wire ?

See my reply in thread; basically there is no fog light wire/harness as this was removed in Series II to reduce cost. To reseat switch properly, the switch has two side clips which you need push back into daskbd. Failing which you need to remove the instrument console, screws located quite easy.

How hard are you supposed to push it in??

I cannot seem to get it in, no clips appear to broken, it just wont go in!!

Pretty hard from memory.

Btw mine didn't have the foglight wiring either cause it's a base model but didnt take the auto sparkie long to run the wires & a relay to make them work off the foglight switch.
