Adjustible switch thing under the steering wheel
« on: Oct 20, 2007, 03:21PM »
Hey guys just wondering if anyone has a switch thing (like a dimmer switch) just below the steering wheel in there u13? I always thought it wasnt hooked up to anything but i went to take it out and found that it is.... i cant seem to work out what it does either. And recently while looking at cars for sale i noticed that anthoer bluebird has the same thing.

If any one has any idea wat im talking about can u help me out lol?

Thanks

Mine was complianced by Maximore in QLD i think, and I also have a switch thing - Mine is a dimmer switch put in for compliance, it dims but only a tiny amount. Mine is on the panel below the steering wheel that sort of covers up the pedal area.

Maybe grab a picture if this isn't what you're talking about?

Yeah, for compliance.

My car missed everything at compliance... has the jap seatbelts, no dimmer, jap mirrors (convex) and no high-mount light... no side intrusion bars welded in... etc etc

I guess you could call it a 'dodgy compliance'

My U11 came with a pushbutton dimmer from the factory. They don't make 'em like they used to :P
