Mystery Switch?

Since you guys have been so great with my splitter problem... here is another.....

on the driver' side of the center console about 6-8 inches back there is a small black round switch. I have one on my 2004/996tt and my neighbor has one on his 1999C2-cab - yet we cant figure out what it is for??????

thanks


-michael

about 1cm in diameter, black round rocker switch - about 10 inches off of the floor, 8 or so back from the front of the center dash...... doesnt seem to do anything obvious. Local Porsche mechanic has no idea either.

Yes, it is not uncommon for more than one person to have a k-40 or something installed. You would know it if you had one.

I have one too. It's for my secret nitrous kit! Crap did I just post this on the forum!

all jokes aside. If you grab a pic I'm sure someone will be able to nail it out instantly!
