I thought that the temp switch is at the other side of the car, on the underneath of the front chassis member.

Does your car have an airbag Pete?

pretty sure it a temp sender thingy for the snowflake lights.


if for the fuel cut off, turn on the car and push it in.,should go off.

But its not that because its in the boot in a saff or footwell in a late saff and once triggered you have to push it back in for it to work.
