unidentified switch

[bouffy]

there's a little black switch / button by the passenger's right knee in my Grrrrrriffith. I don't know what the hell it's for, and it doesn't appear to do anything...

I noticed it whilst attached my accumate charger to the battery (a second career as a contortionist beckons...) a couple of weeks ago.

Any ideas? (about the switch, not my career)

Turns the dash lights off/on

Err... he said by the *passenger's* right knee. AFAIK the dash lights would always be on the drivers side. Could be something extra that a previous owner fitted - immobiliser or something?

Good point well spotted. Glad you passed that little test. Well done...

In which case I have no idea! Fan override??

If its one of the last 100 griff's, it should be the door locking button!!

The dash light switch is not even by the driver's right knee, it's by the left.

Woof!

Hmmm. Looks like I'll press it a few times when driving / engine on / engine off / immobilised etc to see if it makes any difference to anything!

Thanks for the suggestions though!

On the subject of mystery switches, I've got one too. My Griff's a '97 500 & it's a LHD. Dash dimming switch is by driver's right knee and right in front of it there's a small button-type micro-switch with a tiny red light on it which comes on when pressed. Haven't been able to figure out its function & previous (first) owner was none the wiser. Any ideas?
