What goes in this hole ?

When I bought my 75 CJ5, there was an aftermarket choke cable mounted in this hole. I replaced the carb with a weber and removed the cable. The hole looks to be from the factory. If you look close, you can see a "locator" notch at the top of the hole which is usually used to keep a switch from rotating. Any thoughts ? Thanks, Jeff

 

hmm
only thing I can think of would be a brake warning light/lamp;
not for the parking brake but for the hydraulic system.
anybody else ?

 

On my 75, bought new by my wife, there was a dealer installed manual choke there. I have replaced it with a hand throttle. It is my understanding that there was a "button" there from the factory, concealing the hole. If we're lucky, Timgr or Jim will chime in with their input.

 

Yeah a blank button plug. This is my '74

 

A plug.

It's in the right place for column-mounted tachometer wires though.

 

My '74 has a red light there, nonfucntional, I thought is was the brake warning light too.

 

My 75, purchased in 77 just has the blank plug.....

 

Hmmm....Basically an accessory hole then? Tach wire...mystery red light...anybody else?

 

Plug Here.
BTW nice dash Fnord5

 

My 75 has a blank plug.

 

My '75 has a toggle switch there to switch between the plow lights and the regular lights....

 

My 75 has a plug in it and a hole for the column mounted tach as timgr said. Works great

 

I had a hole there - guess the plug got lost. Made a great place to put the hand throttle though.

 

from the parts manual
let's stir the pot a little

 

my guess is the tach wires go down the column and under the dash

Is there a corresponding parts list? What is part PO 3.651-1? Looks like a bulb in a lamp of some sort.

 

brake warning lamp as discussed

 

Mmm. Could be right, but I don't recall any of mine (73-75-75) having a brake light. Maybe the '75s do and I haven't noticed. I'll look at the current one when I get home.

 

No need to wait - I have pics!

This is the best one of that item:



Looks like a body color plug to me.

 

That's the same as my '74
