What does 'LT' mean
Good morning,
looking into the C3s schematic, the door switch is labeld 'Door LT switch'.
What does LT mean?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what schematic you are looking at but LT is commonly used to denote left.

Hello,
The 2 door switches are one for the courtesy lamp and one for the door ajar warning lamp (2 each door)
I believe that L.H. or R.H. is typically used to indicate left or right.
Perhaps it varies depending what is being described or indicated.
LT ? Light?
Regards......

I agree that in a GM schematic LT is "light". Looking at my '72's schematic every tail lamp, license lamp, side marker, and turn signal has LT in the label. Dash indicators have R.H. and L.H. as do the headlamps.

Thanks for your comments, looks like LT refers to light.
left oder toght handelt is labels LH or RH.
Best regards!
