New 1995 Plus 8 LHD owner. Trying to figure out all the switches. While looking for a cigarette lighter socket I found a toggle switch right next to the steering column.
Anyone know what it does?

Its the auto override for the radiator electric fan. Turn it on and the fan stays on all the time.... turn it off and the fan is thermostatically controlled..Ignition activated.....

My 4/4 had one. It was to cut off supply to the wipers with the screen folded down & aero screens in use.

I would be hoping for an ejector seat activation switch.

Sounds like it's maybe definitely whatever Morgan, or a dealer, or some previous owner thought would be a good idea ....try messing with it and see what starts/stops working ....try starting the engine either way ...could be someone fitted a rudimentary security device by putting a switch in the solenoid wire from the ignition switch. Unless the car was previously owned by the head of a cartel who vowed never to be taken alive, I can't see it doing any harm
Tho secretly I'm rooting for Edwin to be right !

I agree it could be for anything so try it amazing what you might find out!!!! I put a switch under the dash for my electric fan override, there was also a switch to operate the electric aerial which I never use.

The ejector seat needs your votes now if we are going to win this election. Your silent support has been appreciated, but now is the time to let your voices be hesrd!
