I am installing my stage one today..Mine was made in early March. I dont have this long looking on and off switch..I have one that says either 230 or 115 volts...Which way to I set this??

Thank You
Steve

 

I would assume towards the connectors, as that's in the instructions.. probably a better switch!!!

I'll let the CZ team answer officially so you have a definitive answer

 

Yes, you got one of the sweet ones with a flush switch. 230V position is on (and you'll notice it is also towards the rear of the car or the large connector). I wired it that way because 230V is high power, and 115 is "normal" power .

 

My switch broke off during installation. I am still able to move the inside part of the switch with the head of a screw driver. All seems to be alright but does anyone think that I damaged the unit other wise? Thanks in advance.

 

It's probably ok. I was worried that when they broke a metal part could get inside and cause trouble. It seems the only thing it does is loose the detent that holds the switch in place (on or off). There is enough friction in the contacts that I doubt it will move. The switches are not the highest quality, but they do have very well designed contacts. It's a "U" shaped piece of metal that wraps around the terminals, not just pressed against them.

If anything does go wrong in the switch, all that will happen is the unit will shut down, and you will get a MIL (CEL). It will not damage anything. You would just remove the Stage 1 and the car would be back to stock.

In effect, you now have a flush type switch (with better contacts than a true flush switch has).
