Andy,
When I finished (?) the installation of my new wiring harness I discovered
these two wires hanging down by the console. Yes, indeed, it's the fan switch
illumination. One of these days I'll acquire a pair of hemostats to reach up in
there with and get them reconnected. The only other option is to remove the
dashboard. Sorry about that.
