SMiFFAD Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Ill get a photo of it later if no one knows what im talking about, but... Theres a switch under my dash, about where your right knee is, basically pointing at the floor. it looks like its factory fit, although it may have just been a good after thought. WHAT DOES IT DO? Its either a simple on off switch or a two way toggle switch of some sort, and has a round logo on it..... Anyone else got this and know what it does, when i press it it doesnt seem to do much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I once asked a question about a mystery switch on my dash. Someone suggested it switched on the flux capacitor. Didnt work tho. It may have once had a CD changer, could be for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you were being sarcastic when you said it had parking sensors and they still worked in the off position. If you are not being sarcastice the Supra did not come with parking sensors, unless it was a factory option that I have never known about (learn something new everyday) if it is the bleep when in reverse that is standard with all auto's, it's sole purpose for bleeping is to annoy the feck out of you.

TrickTT Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I would guess from the symbol that it turns off the interior alarm sensors. Turn it off, then set the alarm with the windows down and see if it goes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has parking sensors.... but only on one side oddly enough, i came to the conclusion as you cant really see the passengers side front/back they had them installed on that side only. So not only does it beep in reverse, it goes spastic if you reverse near anything! I would guess from the symbol that it turns off the interior alarm sensors. Turn it off, then set the alarm with the windows down and see if it goes off. It now has a clifford alarm on it, which may explain why it doesnt "seem" to do anything lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Stick your hand round the back and see if it's actually got any wires attached to it... If so, pull them really hard, and then see what doesn't work anymore... That'll tell you what the switch's for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparantly you can get fined in Japan for not parking close enough to the curb! A car I was looking at before I bought mine had this and that was what I was told.

Ewen Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I've got parking sensors too...the rear ones are on all the time (no switch) and the fronts have a switch each (one for left hand one for right) there is a single beep when I switch either on. The symbol on the switch looks similar to yours too ?? Edit...just read both your sensors work with this switch off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMiFFAD Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Mystery solved..... It turns on the front parking sensor (presumably so it doesnt beep at you in traffic cues ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I bet its the same switch that Mr. Knight uses when KITT needs to go to hyperspeed! Check if the soop has gotten 3" wider and if you see a flame in your rear mirror.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
