Can anyone tell me what this is on my dash (92' bird)

 

is it hooked up to anything

 

That looks like the light that is supposed to shine down on the AC and heater controls. It's been a while since I had my dash apart, so my memory is a bit fuzzy....

 

Isnt that light your talking about in the bottom edge of the rearview mirror?

Id say its aftermarket..........prolly an alarm.



Tys

 

Its hooked up to something inside the dash, I don't know if its just for 92's or what, but I have no idea what it is.

 

That's a light sensor for the automatic headlamp system that comes with the daytime running lights... It's a photocell that detects how much light is present...

This sensor is only found in Canadian Third Gens built between 1990 and 1992. There is a small hole on the dash pad near the passenger side A pillar that the sensor mounts under.

If your DRL system is working, then your headlights will go on automatically when it gets dark and turn off automatically when it gets light. You don't need to touch the headlight switch.....

 

Thats what we thought it may be. I wasn't sure if that option was there so far back, but it must of been. Thanks for your help.

 

haha thats pretty cool

 

hey i cannot get a really clear look at it but our cars have what is called a 'cigerette courtesy lite' this is located above the hvac control in the underside of the dash, use flash lite. it was suppose to dimmly lite the ash trey but is pretty much worthless i put a new one in my 91 z28 i got at dealer and was informed there were only 7 left in the county(i got 1 and my parts buddy at dealership got one so 5 left lol and this was 3 years ago. i found it by accident too. thanks bruce
