Anybody know what the A/P switch next to the intercooler spray switch is in a V4 type r.. ?

SORRY, dont know why i called it a switch,its a button..

 

Anyone ...

 

3 days and no answers,someone must know what it is ?

 

Have you pressed it to see what it does?

Tony

 

Sorry yes, it only seams to come on (orange light) when you have the heater blower on ??

 

Weird sounds like its some sort of demister, though if its next to the ic spray switch.....
Does your car have an auto I/C spray switch and/or a manual one?

Tony

 

I/C spray is just on or off with orange light,same style button as the A/P..

Thought a photo might help..

 

Aircon?
The symbol is definately a fan.

Tony

 

Its got the standard aircon controls..

Any more ideas.....

 

Have you tried it with the engine off to see if you get any new noises?

 

I will give it a try with me head under the bonnet,only tried so far whilst sat in the car,but cause it only works whilst the heater blowers on you can only hear the heater.

 

Tried that,no other noises at all..

 

Could it be a full power/economy mode switch for the ac?

 

Is there such a thing
????????

 

My old MR2 had it, i've seen it on a few cars... odd that the switch would be there though and not with the rest of the controls

 

I suppose its possible,like i said,it does only work when the heater controls on..

 

i took a feed off one off the spare plugs behind that panel for my afr gauge...never noticed at the time,but its only live when the heater motor is on,so i guess it could be the plug for that AP switch that you have... be interested myself to find out what its for,as i racked my brains trying to think why a switch would only be live when the heater is on??? cars a jap spec 00 wrx with a/c by the way

 

Lets keep each other posted on what we find (if anything)
Cheers

 

I give up then,got a local lucas,i will take in,see what they can find..
