Reply to "Seeking info regarding Late VIN Mangusta Dash switch positions"

Larry, the order of the last 3 switches did change when the switches went from "down" (below the radio) to above the radio. The wiring diagram lists the "switches up" sequence (8ma956 and later) and the changeup for earlier cars is only something brought to my attention recently by John with 8ma750...

   -for the hazard switch, these got cheaper --Ferrari used the same hazard switch thru the 70's, no repro'd  https://www.dinoparts.com/en/p...ferrari-dino-308-gt4

- for the courtesy lights, as Denis writes the ones in the trunk have the switch. But as I can tell, the light will also only turn ON when the motor is running (as I could tell, the ignition switch enables the power to these...). I guess DeT was afraid users would forget to turn off the switch and drain their battery, so in effect made them quite useless!

"Schematics" of the Maserati switches (used in the Goose) are attached, see page 14/ sch 11 for QP and page 23 for Ghibli,  and where I pulled Lucas part numbers for the switches (including the turn signal switches). Awesome resource which explained a lot of funky details in the early Goose wiring diagram (remnants of the Prestolite alternator, the voltage regulator for the gauges, etc...).

It would be great to find a stash of the original (round) handles, the switches themselves are all easy enough to substitute....But at least, with stickers, there is absolutely no fuss about buying by the Icons on the switch--Lee

The radiator has a thermostat, but it isn’t used—instead, the electric fans for the radiator are manually turned on.

City/horn switch

Selects either the small Bosch (city) or the Fiamm air trumpets for the horn. Icon looks like a fuel pump, but Mangusta used a mechanical fuel pump (the switch Was used for left/right fuel tank on Ghibli).
