Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: Geoff_K on January 26, 2014, 06:37:27 PM Pillar Switch FE-217
(possibly from FE-217-526-A parts box!) Geoff Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: mcl1959 on January 26, 2014, 07:07:38 PM Yes it is the B pillar light switch which was only on the FE 217 and FC 217 models. Not many of these on the road and not many switches seen for sale. Hopefully Geoff if you look in your parts box, yours should still be there. :o

Happy Australia Day, Dr Terry Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: Stewy on January 26, 2014, 09:21:01 PM Just having a look in the parts books are they the same?
48/217 , FJ/217 # 7407585 FE/217, FC/217 # 7410302 In my FE preliminary parts catalogue it lists the FE/217.....7410302 as a N.P. which is a New Part for this model. Interested to know if they are the same or not. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: mcl1959 on January 27, 2014, 10:09:34 AM Here's a pic from "the Holden collection". It looks different but is not a real picture. Couldn't find a real pic in a quick search

GM-H often change part numbers even tough the part itself looks identical. It can be a change in supplier or maybe even a minor upgrade in spec. If anyone out there has one of those superseded parts catalogues, it may show that it supersedes. Dr Terry Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: mcl1959 on January 27, 2014, 05:49:30 PM Looked up FX to EJ parts book and the two switches continue to have separate part numbers.
Ken Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: FE_UTE on January 27, 2014, 06:00:21 PM G'day Guys
This is a pic of a switch from a Perth built FE 217 It shows a minor change on the back to the insulator Cheers Gary (http://s14.postimg.org/rr0xl0p2l/Signs_013.jpg) ($2) Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: Dr_Terry on January 28, 2014, 10:39:55 AM I stand corrected !
These 2 switches are the same in their frontal physical appearance & operation, but are slightly different electrically. One side of the switch is permanently earthed in the last pic. This is where it gets confusing. According to the factory wiring diagrams, the fully insulated one in the first post, should suit FJ, wheres the last pic (shown as a Perth FJ/217) matches the FE wiring diagram. I checked the one in my FJ/217 & it's the same as in Ken's first post. Dr Terry Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: mcl1959 on January 28, 2014, 06:01:26 PM Maybe I need to stand corrected :P
I bought this one at a swap meet assuming it was FE FC. (This was after I sold both my business sedans so I couldn't check) Anybody want to buy a FJ pillar switch? ;D Ken Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: FCV08 on January 28, 2014, 09:17:00 PM Ken
Do you have a pair? Regards Craig Title: Re: Challenge 3 Post by: mcl1959 on January 29, 2014, 04:56:53 PM No just the one.
