Recently I purchased fog lights and switch for my 1960 MK2 as it was sold in the United States without the lights. I purchased these from the USA Branch of SNG Barratt. The switch that they sent (their stock # C20246) has no markings and did not include a diagram. My mechanic states that the switch is completely different than the current switch and he needs a diagram to complete the job. The SNG Barratt, USA personnel have not been able to provide a diagram. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. I did send an email to the office in England today. Thanks.

 

An ohmmeter should sort it out in about 15 seconds flat.

Guess which one is input from fuseblock.
Switch rotated fully CCW looking at the front, should ohm to no other. One step up, should ohm from input to park lamps. Next one up, park lamps AND headlamps.
Next one up, park lamps and Fog lamps.
Knowing that park lights are powered all the time except "off" should allow the mechanic to sort any question on input.
No markings at all on the back or sides of the switch?

Thanks Dave

 

No markings what so ever. Thank you for your reply.

I have an original 4-way in my spare RHD 2.4L dash....not for sale...but, I can go digging and look to see how it's wired, or pop my centre section down and use my test light to tell.
I could even take a picture of it.
Let me go do that...I still have some daylight.

Here's a small photo with the centre section dropped. From the back, with the lever installed for reference.....lever off to orient the switch as you're looking at the back:
11:00 is power in
2:00 is fog
3:00 is head
4:00 is front park lights
7:30 is rear park
9:00 is blank

I can do a bigger photo...just not sure the size allowed.

I had forgotten front park lamps went out with headlamps...but telltales do not.
I have been told (and recall an unpleasant discussion with a fuzz in the late 60's) that the reason the US did not allow FogRangers stock on MK2's was you cannot have fog lites on without headlights...which defeats the entire purpose of them. Fixable with a relay, if I recall, but since they accepted this RHD Jaguar for importation in 1982, as-is with factory FogRangers, they stay this way!

 

I too installed auxiliary Driving lights in my '65 S type but I decided against the 4-position switch because when the Fog position is selected, the headlamps will go off. I wanted to be able to turn on and off the auxiliary driving lights with the headlamps ON.

Instead I made my own escutcheon variations using "AUX LAMPS" and "SPOT LAMPS", settling on "SPOT LAMPS". Purchased a Lucas toggle switch to match the other switches. I had a Marchal Relay kit from the 1960's and used it.

 

Thank you again. I will check with my mechanic to see how this turns out.
