A few newbie questions

[Roverguy]

Picked up my 02 last week.  Been doing some sorting out.  It has not been driven much in the last few years, so working on cleaning up the fuel system.

 

Two hopefully simple questions:

 

Is there a separate key to lock the trunk?

 

What is the green light next to the Hazard switch above the radio?

 

I have the owner's manual, but it's pretty thin on info.

 

I should be receiving my shop manuals within the next day or so.

 

A few pics.

 

Please don't kill me on the blingy bottle caps, those gotta go!

 

My pup on his first ride, he's usually in the back of my 4Runner or Jeep, so he is not sure about the back seat thing yet.

 

Thanks for any input.

 

p.s. can you pick out what's parked next to it in the garage?

Yes.

 

And welcome! Nice garage!

Pretty car!

 

Consult the first few pages of your owners manual for a diagram/illustration of instrumentation and controls.  I suspect your button-switch is for optional front and/or rear fog lamps.

 

Happy motoring!

It's a blank, no switch, I have front fog switch on lh side of dash.

 

Maybe I'll wire my elect cooling fan to that when I install.

[Roverguy]

Oh, and I'll see if my locksmith can re set tumblers for trunk to door.

 

If not anyone have a used one?

TR-6? (Next to it in the garage)

Good eyes, yes, it's a '70 that I'm doing a rolling resto on.

 

This will be my 4th Triumph.

 

Had 2 TR250s, before they were stupid expensive (late 70s) and a TR 3 that was close to a basket case.

 

This is a pretty rust free car

Sorry but I think the bottle caps look great on these cars (IMHO).  Nice looking ride and a garage you can perform "open car" surgery in.  Nice!

Note word "optional."  Not all cars were so equipped.  You mentioned "light" suggesting a live switch.  However, some cars came with an easily removed "dummy" switch. ? 

[Roverguy]

I like the bottlecaps, but someone chromed them. :-((.

 

And it's a dummy switch, as in blank.

You can order a key for the truck from eBay. Just look up the code on the lock in the truck and a key can be cut for it.

Trunk key is a different blank than the door

[Guy Cocquyt]

Remove the trunk lock cylinder and you will find a key code number there (I think it's 5 digits).  Any good locksmith can cut you a new key from their own stock blanks.  As Echappe noted, it is a very different lock cylinder from the door locks so I doubt you can exchange a door lock cylinder for the factory trunk cylinder. 

 

To remove the trunk cylinder you have to twist off the threaded holder on the inside of the trunk (may need vise grips to for this), it threads into or onto the chrome fitting on the outside of the trunk which surrounds the key opening in the cylinder.  The cylinder comes out and you find the code engraved on the side.

As has been pointed out, that's not gonna happen...completely different locks and keys.

 

Your garage is way too neat and clean--we dare not let our spouses see it or we'll get a ration!

 

Welcome to the '02 fraternity/sorority.  BTW my Dad had the Triumph dealership in Orlando FL back in 1957/58, selling small mouth TR3s and Triumph 10 sedans.  Unfortunately I wasn't quite old enough to drive yet...would have loved to try a TR3.
