The heater fan gets a rheostat, mounted to the left of the steering wheel (next 
to where the OD switch would be if it had OD).
There is a photo in the workshop manual, in the section on installing the 
heater.
 
There appears to have been no single change point for the dash light rheostat.  
Piggott says it was on "some" cars after TS43000,
but not standard until TS60000.
 
One way to tell is to look at the center hole just below the pair of indicator 
lights in the instrument panel.  If it is the right
size for the wiper switch, then the wiper switch goes there and the panel 
switch goes at the top center.
 
If that hole is larger than the wiper switch, then the panel rheostat goes 
there and the wiper switch goes at the top.

Subject: [TR] TR3A Dash Switch Layout / Questions



I'm putting a TR3A back together from boxes (I didn't take it apart).  I am 
needing some help with the switch placement.

Where does the heater fan switch go?  I haven't found a pic online yet.  Do the 
instrument lights run through a Rheostat?  I have
one, but I also have a on-off switch with "Panel" on its knob.....assume that 
is for the instrument panel lights?

If you have a pic you could send me.  This is a 59 TR3A......roughly TS52000.

Thanks,

Chad in Tulsa.
