Supercharger?

I thought someone would have gotten it by now. It's to activate the muffler bearings

I had a switch in that spot to activate trailer brakes, I dont know what kind of brakes, but it applied twelve volts to the six pin plug on the bumper.

I have one in my truck. It operates the muffler bearings.

Post a picture of those bearings. If I have some on my truck I guess I will have to get a toggle switch too.

The previous owner boogered up the wiring. I can't figure out how to make them work

Fuel dump switch for emergency landing.

blukangoo · 10-20-2007, 03:14 PM

Follow the wires and tell me where they go and I can tell you what the switch is for.

Longhorn321 · 10-20-2007, 04:38 PM

Don't touch that thing whatever you do! It's the input switch for the kanuter valve control unit that operates the kanuter valve.

One of these days one of the admins or mods will lock it because it leads to nothing but stupid answers.
As long as it´s still open, have fun.

Is it maybe a thief deterent? It turns on a little blinking diode on the dash to make people think he has an alarm system.

I guess nobody got it yet. Here is my next guess.

Does it maybe send 12 Volts to something?
