Mystery switch? - LeeroyNI - 03-11-2013

I've found a switch beside the keyhole for turning the airbags off. I have pushed it a few times and it seems to have no use (as far as I know). Anyone have any idea as to what it's for? It's in a 2000 HDI if that's any help also.

Rear window isolator.


RE: Mystery switch? - LeeroyNI - 03-11-2013

Ah thanks. Was beginning to bug me, especially since I have no manual with the car.

Is that where passengers in the back can't operate their windows? Or am I completely of course?

Yeah, that's exactly what it's for. Smile

Hmm, strange that. The car's only a 3 door. Oh well, at least I know its use now Smile

is the switch on the seering columb?

if so its for the alarm


RE: Mystery switch? - Piggy - 04-11-2013

post up a pic of the switch


RE: Mystery switch? - Chris - 04-11-2013

Pics will help. As the rear window thing is for 5drs only.

It probably is to do with the alarm I'd assume.

Unable to take photo's, iPhone gave up on me a while back unfortunately

I also have a mystery switch, small back one located next to the headlight level switch?

I also have a black tipped push button in-between the headlight level control and dash light dimmer. I assumed it was for the alarm, as it doesn't look factory fit, more aftermarket. There is a small LED above it. I dare not press it in-case the car never starts again!

Mine has a green light on there with indicator arrows on that goes to. Relay in the fusebox but never lights up. Full of weird switches these cars


RE: Mystery switch? - Toms306 - 10-11-2013

Do you have rear electric windows Kyle? Yours sounds like the cut-off switch for those.

Yes, this is the button I'm talking about. I've still no idea what it's for Huh


RE: Mystery switch? - JJtheHITMAN - 10-11-2013

Tiny black push button with chrome nut fixing. Traced wires today and they go to alarm, no idea why. I also have a flashing red imob led in the centre by clock but i presumed that was standard. Glad to hear others have this mystery switch.
