WHAT WOULD THIS BE???? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

oricale · 10-19-2011

Hello Folks,..Im just getting into My Z and Found this in the glove box,..I am showing two photos 1st, a switch which says "C" and "H"...and 2nd of the wires to help identify..

Any Ideas????...

Fan Controller Maybe?

ALSO: I put power on the car and the seats wont move,...what am i missing?

I would guess C=cold, H=hot, since I can't imagine what other abbreviations would fit in this case. Fan switch seems like a reasonable guess...

Antenna on/off, just a guess, try it

one of the big parts houses used to/still does sell a switch you can raise and lower the antenna at will

You may be right. Behind the glove box you can interupt and splice the pink wire to install a bypass switch. One of those wires in the second picture is pink.

There seems to be to many wires for a simple antenna control. The C & H would seem to imply maybe C-current, H-history for maybe CCM or ECM codes. Could it maybe be wired to the ALDL/DIC to display codes easily on maybe an OBD1 scanner type display or maybe bypass the DIC and display directly to the cluster?

That would seem to be considerable effort for information not generally required frequently. I'd likely have to remove the glove box and see where the harness/pigtail might lead.

It's certainly "conversational"!! I'd be asking the PO!

What does it do with just KEY-ON? NOT THE POWER-KEY just ignition!

LOL...God I hope NOT!.....just a lot of daily driver grime and rusty seat tracks,....gonna have to replace those!,...actually I am taking it slow untill I get the oil pan gasket tomarrow...!,..I will track the wires down today and see where they go!,...

I ACTUALLY "REALLY" expect that if the switch is "MOMENTARY" in either direction it controls the temp up or down and the up/down function of the AC control doesn't work! If it's actually a 3 position switch, I've NOT the slightest idea!

Yeah that would be my best guess
