Squiffy Little Light Switch

DonnyGirl · 03-29-2006, 12:51 PM

I have had my car for two weeks now, and I have only just noticed how awkard the recessed rotary Light Switch Auto, Off,Side Lights, Full Lights. If I had thick fingers, it would awkard to get my fingers in, and I would need a screw driver to use. Funny hadn't noticed it before when driving in the dark. Why does the switch have to be recessed ?

I think you can acutally pull it out.

Mine is not recessed.

haha, I have never even noticed mine.

I Agree with Broken1

i think you or someone else have bumped it in.
Just give it a pull and it should pop back into the correct position

It should stick out like this not, and not be recessed

Its made to go in if you bump it in a accident so you dont get as hurt
