What The Hell Does This Do?

[mike lowry]

i've got this button on my centre console next to the hand brake and I haven't got the foggiest idea what it does.

I've tried tracing the cable and it dissapears into a lume.

It is plugged in, but dosen't seem to do anything

I know most don't care but I would like to know. any help would be greatly apreciated

thanks

hey i parking wand is a pole with a light on the top of it that pops vertically out of the corner of your bumper bar like an antenna, so when u park u can see how close the corner of the car is to the next car...

I have seen those on other cars and they are so gay! my car is an impul r33r (complete workshop car) and as such no longer has the factory bumpers. maybe I can rig it up to do something else?

BTW i've never heard them called parking wands before.

thanks for your help

This picture shows an R33 with factory option parking wand installed in the front bumper. That is what your car has (well it has the switch at least).

ahhhhhh i see

they should make it come out sticking out forward, and make it something soft and retractable, that way as u get closer to the car in front, it pushes in and makes a chime or something like that

[mike lowry]

i'll just add that to the list of things the car used to have. there are plugs and wires going all over the place but don't plug into anything! there are even plugs under the front seats that look like the original seats were powered. oh well

thanks for your help guys

I got a switch there in my 33 but mine turns off the head lights when you come to a complete stop after 3-5 seconds, so if i flick it to off the heads lights don't turn off when I stop

The under the seat plug is just from the factory seat belts. The seat belts get changed with cheap ones as part of compliance.
