TBON is very general here; three toggle switch functions were
labeled Panel, Lights, Wiper.
The wiring diagrams do not show all the details and I don't believe even the
Alpine diagrams show those resistors.
Numerous switches can be made to work. If the line ran out of the primary
switch chances are a different switch was installed. If the dealer had to
change out a switch; they would probably use whatever switch they had in
stock to send a happy customer on his or her way.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Tiger Panel Switch Question
Interesting responses from the group.
It seems there are a lot of cars with each type of switch.
So far I don't see a pattern to which model car has which.
If you look at the wiring diagrams in the shop manual, all three models (I,
Ia, II) show a switch with 8 contacts some bussed together, but I can't
discern a resistor in that diagram. The two position small switch has only
two contacts and would not seem to match the wiring diagram.
What does Book of Norman have to say on this topic?
The resistor on this switch is a thin rectangle of some sintered material
that clips into two u shaped contacts on one end of the switch. At first
glance it is not readily apparent.
