Light Switches (Elise/Exige S1)

This page should contain info pulled from forum threads around S1 light switches. It is very much a work in progress at present.

Source

switches are from 205 / 106, may be 306 (internals the same need to swap whole of cover) ?, but never seen the main light one they're made by TRW, but I never found a cross ref list anywhere

when you get the switches it is easy to pull off the cap and swap over the icon, be very careful not to snap the lugs off the caps when you pull it apart,

Removal

the first time I took out the light switch housing I took off first both plastic covers surrounding the light switches and the one surrounding the heater controls, then the steering column cowling and and finally the stack itself off

That was the first time, now the only things I do to get out the light switches is:

take off both plastic surrounds (using something like a credit card or anything thats thin and plastic so not to scratch the paint), one for the light switches and the other thats surrounds the heater controls,

then unscrew the two philips screws that hold the dash top to the ali switch plate, followed by the two philips screws that hold the ali switch plate to the ali dash

then by using one of these spanners that are both hinged and have a ratchet

you ONLY need to loosen the stack off sufficient to be able to wiggle off the ali dash top off, it’s the way I’ve been getting the light switches off ever since my first attempt, but if you feel more comfortable taking off the everything then thats fine too

once you have all that off, the switches can be seen in full, don’t be tempted to just pull on the cap of the switch as all you’ll be doing if you’re luck is pull of the cap leaving the full switch still in position and if not so lucky, you’ll have snapped off the lugs holding the cap on the switch

so once you can see the back of the switches prise them apart at the point of the arrow

then from behind you can start to squees the holding lugs on the switch to push it forward and out of the ali holder

it is a lot easer than my writing makes it out to be, the female part are all colour coded (well mine are) and the wiring is just long enough for the right location, so shouldn’t make an error re finding them in the right location

Correct Order

From steering wheel out;

• Side light switch
• Head light switch
• Fog light switch
• Hazard lights switch
• Spare dummy switch

Switch Schematics

From the schematics, headlight, sidelight and hazard switch are the same internally, fog is different. The hazard schematic is drawn back to front but the connections are the same.

Interchangeable

Sidelight == Headlight == Hazard

Fog == Heated screen

Peugeot part numbers

These are from from a 205N

• 6553 20 : rear fog light
• 6553 21 : hazard flasher (some hazards are red, some black, I believe this number to be the black version based on a purchased brand new part)
• 6553 22 : rear window heating (demister)
• 6553 24 : fog lights
• 6553 25 : refridgerating (?) AC cooling
• 6553 38 : heating seat
• 6553 39 : heating pump
