Hi,

This may sound like the most noobish question around... but I was wondering what the control under the in-car light control on the left side does. It has a logo of a light with a squiggly line going through a straight line. I turn it on and it does nothing....

Also, on the right side, there is a 'Mist' button... but all it does is make the wipers move once; without spraying anything.

Thanks.

hey man, i will have to go look at my dash for the light with the squiggly line thing.... as for the "mist" button, u press it when there is only a bit of rain on ur windshield... like enough for one swipe to clear off, used when rain is too light for any of the other settings posted_image

I will get back to you on the other switch

squigely light switch is a factory fog light switch for foglights you dont have anymore or never had.

The mist feature is to MIST or spray the windsheild when it's covered in bird sh*t. There is a cap under the hood that you fill with 'windsheild washer fluid'. This can be found at any gas station for a rediculously high price, if it contains graphite, it will cost twice as much.

u might be a "superb member" or whatever, but on the sunbird the "mist" button and the "windshield washer" button are 2 different buttons on the right hand side of the wheel posted_image

like do u think i'm that much of a moron? i've owned this car for 6yrs. they are 2 different buttons, hop in a sunbird n giver a go. the one with the wiper with spray symbol is ur windshield washer it sprays the stuff u get at the gas station and the other simply says "mist". gives the wipers 1 swipe across the windshield with no spray.. Thanks for the smart ass remarks tho (moron)

Thanx for the replies.

I had a feeling that it was for the fog lights. Just think it's dumb that they'd put it if my car never had fog lights.

And no, I'm not a moron. I buy this purple colored stuff and put it into a plastic tank under my hood and I push a button and liquid flies all over my windshield! Like omg, it's sooo crazy. *Rolleyes*
