Couple simple questions... (1 Viewer)

[BruceW]

I just bought my first LC (a 60) a couple weeks ago.

What is the button to the left of the steering wheel that clicks in and out of the dash? (it looks like a little vent).

Also what is Teq? Is it a parts manufacturer? I saw something in the engine compartment that had Teq, Aisan on it...

Thanks

manual choke... pushed in is "no choke" pulled out is "alot of choke"

It's to the right of the choke, rectangular in shape. When I push it, it springs out.

Thanks

in my 85 60 is left to right choke, instrument panel light dimmer then a retuganular "blank" the owners manual shows it as such, might be an aftermarket switch. try here

Hmmm. I had not hought about aftermarket--it could have been to anything.

Here is a picture.

Thanks again--I figured the Teq had to be something mundane.

Wow, that is a funky button. Maybe it's missing a cover?

Check the wires (if any) coming off the back and see where they go...

I don't think thats stock although it is "rectangular"
"Toyota" is far from mundane... at least all of my cruisers are

could be the Oil Slick button.

or

maybe the cover just came off and it's for your off road lighting etc.


you're gonna find lots of cool stuff when you look around. there's even a plug in for a little work light under your glove box.

Heh--the oil slick tanks must be empty then

Yeah, I would not call the Cruiser mundane...

Did you ever find where the switch went??

That looks more like a place to keep change for tolls than a switch.

 

[BruceW]

I haven't had a chance to try and follow it yet. Hopefully I'll have some time soon.

could be the Oil Slick button.

I vote for either...

a) Flow-thru air freshener vent
b) rocket launcher
c) gumball dispenser button, gumballs are dispensed into the ashtray

 

[beaufort-fj60]

d) outlet for electric shaver
