Monarch se engine compartment light

[andersen.steve]

My 2005 Monarch SE has an engine compartment light that turns off and on by a switch on the unit. No problem there. It also has a plastic knob that lets you rotate a round section next to the light. The light doesn’t rotate. What is this for? This is centrally located at the top of the engine compartment.

The light clip in, you in lip it and it spools out on a cord

Unclip

Great. Thanks for the info.

The light pulls out for use then you can roll it back up by rotating the handle.

You should also have the same light in your front run bay. At least mine does. Comes in handy if you forget your flashlight.....Dennis

Mine in the engine compartment came loose and dragged on the ground and I didn’t notice it for about 2,000 miles! All that was left is the cord no light. I’d like to find a light but I’m guessing I have to get a whole replacement

I remember these on Ford trucks a while back.  I think 1980's and/or 1990's.
