Question (?) what the *** is this **** ?!

So last night when i was trying to reset my ecu to clear the code for my earlier sensor problem.. i noticed a ****.. its same color as interior, about inch wide and high, no writing on or around it, if you turn it clock wise at the very end of the turn it will click. i was messing with that thing for like 15 min trying to figure out what it does!! frustrade and annoyed I gave up.

here is how you find it...

driver side... stick your head under the dash... at the very end of the cover under the steering wheel, the flat cover that is parallel with the floor of your car... look to the very right (or left if you are upside down), toward the center of the car.... basically it is upside down, on the cover parallel to the floor, few inches away from gas pedal, toward the driver seat.

what the flip does that **** do!!

You know that beeping sound you hear if you try to lock the door while a door is open? That should control the volume... I think.

Looks like chime.

I know about the **** under the dash to control the volume of the chime.

And as for the jackrabbit starts? Try the snow ECT setting when in stop and go traffic.. it smooths things out quite a bit.

I think it's the volume for the sonar/parking sensors. Not 100% sure but try and see if it works.

After posting what was quoted above, I've gone back and how now reconsidered my answer.

The **** controls the rotation of the earth.
