Help Identifying Wiring Harness Components

#1 Post by J Warren »

Hey guys,

I am sorting through portions of two original wiring harness's seeing what is salvageable One from a 1956 coupe and the other from an early 1957 coupe. I do not recognize this switch. It appears to have an area for a bulb and the stem pulls out like a light switch. It is broken on one side and may not even be Porsche. Also were wire "junctions" such as the other pictures used? I have never seen them but am very new to Porsche.
I am grateful for all help and advice.

I have never see those either, but for the wire colors they were to headlights on something.

Maybe added for fog lights or other accessory?

I'm thinking an aftermarket fog light switch as well.

Thank you guys. I checked the manual and felt pretty sure they were not factory.
