Question wheels under the Pod ??

Question – There are two wheels under the instrument pod. The left one controls the dash light intensity. What does the one on the right side do?

I have a US 1988 5 speed.

The other wheel is to control the water pressure of the headlight washers.

It's the intermittant wiper interval control.

Thank you for your replies.

Sorry for the wrong answer... It's been a while since I've driven a 928 but I could have sworn that's what it was for...

Bob - welcome to the forum. We're happy to answer your questions. Please take a minute to read through the topic 'ADMIN: A New Visitor?...' Use the search function. Read your owner's manual.

Uh, Danton - no guessing.

But it sure would be neat to control the pressure of the headlight washers - swivel them nozzles around and send a blast into that left lane hog in front of ya.
