The assimilator, as far as I know, is identical to the Lucas 3AW used on old British classic cars.

I have take apart a Lucas 3AW to try repair it.


It operates on a simple principle. It is a temperature operated relay. As voltage is applied, a bimetallic strip is heated that eventually moves and breaks the normally closed contact. The normally closed contact keeps the ignition warning light on.


If the assimilator innards are the same as a Lucas 3AW, then there is no harm to leave it as is. ie not working.
