I've got an old handbook from a mark five (circa '95) it says - from left - round plug control light for aux heating or air con - square plug X2 heated seats - square plug rear screen wash - square plug rear screen wipe - square plug heated front screen

to the right of column big round blank - electric mirrors


I only make that seven :?: make sense :?:

where on the dash are the blanks I've missed? - the ones I've quoted are either side of the heater controls (except the mirrors of course)

My 2000 smiley differs slightly :D

from left to right I have;
1)PATS/Alarm LED.
2)Heated seat.
3)Heated seat.
The usual blower direction control. Heat regulator Control. Then your fan speed control and if you have air recirculation this also turns left and you push it in for A/C. (which I do have 8) )
4)Heated front screen.
5)Rear wiper.
6)Rear wash/wipe.
Cig lighter.
Then on the other side of the steering wheel
7)Front fog lights.
8)Brake Traction Control System (BTCS) off switch
9)Headlamp leveler control
10)Electric mirror control

Then you have the three under the vent above the electric mirror control :arrow:
Load space light, Heated rear screen/heated mrrors and rear fog light switch :D
I think that covers most if not all of them :D

That will be everything then, the reason motorwise didn't mention the ones on the right was because they wern't an option in 95 so no holes for them.

Funny that :lol: My book says the same :? But in reality these three are mirror imaged on my van :?
Can anyone else confirm this :?: Valsheda maybe :?:
