MISSING SWITCH

Post by andywatson » Sat Sep 24, 2011 9:54 pm

Hi everyone

I have just bought a 2001 MGF 1.6. I have a missing button on the dashboard, it is situated next to the dashboard dimmer switch. Can anyone tell me what this switch is for.

It's usually the electric door mirror adjustment switch, but I guess your car has manual adjusters?

Thanks Nigel
Any idea why I would have a switch for electric mirrors but only have manually adjustable mirrors.

Me thinks, you've got what you payed for :roll:

The 1.6 MGF was less equipped with extras then the higher grade models.

Andy,

I took it that you had a blank where a switch would normally be, but sounds like you have a switch which does nothing? Have you a photo of the switch? ~ will help identify which one you mean.

If you have manual mirrors you'll be missing a blanking plate that covers the hole where the electric mirror switch would be if you had electric mirrors.
