whats the **** on the right side of dash
Okay my dash has a missing spot on the right side middle between the Hazzard light button and the wipers. I just have a big circle taken out like a **** was there but is broken off... any ideas?

I think it's the rear wiper.

sounds like somebody swapped out something from a parts car. You probably have a cluster surround from a GXL or turbo but your switch is from a model without rear wiper.

there is a dummy **** (does not do anything) there on cars without the rear wiper (most FCs). I suspect yours fell out or was removed at some point.

Ding Ding. A winner!!

Besides location for the rear wiper control, that same location is used to control the up/down of an S4 Vert.

If it's the location I'm picturing, it's also where the cruise main **** is on S5 verts, while the stalk for setting it is right behind it.

Okay makes sense I guess I will have to glue a **** in and leave it. So it doesn't look good without it.
