Default Puzzle time.... :)

What are these?

Took the passenger side dash off and found this.
Whats this for under the dash pad next to the speaker?

Flasher unit?
Buzzer for something?
And surely the top one is in wrong whatever it is?


Wee twiddly **** under the drivers side dash next to the hood release?


Whats the best way to take the dash off with the speedo and Tach?
Never ending repairs

1. Final audio output transistors for stock stereo. You need it for a stock stereo.
2. Key warning/seat belt warning buzzer.
3. Don't know; **** is not stock and looks like something from a prevous owner. 68-72 models have a wiper override switch near the location in your pic. Odometer reset is also in that area.

Have you ordered the assembly instruction manual (AIM) for your car?

Cheers Mike, what about the one above and below the buzzer? I take it with the one below saying "flasher" on has something to do with the turn signals.

I am planning on getting one of the digital radio's that fit in the stock position. Do you need the doo da resistor for that? I am replacing all the speakers as well... Anyone want an 8 track?

Its a 75, sorry should have mentioned.
The wee **** looks like its meant to be there.
I take it when you turn the headlight switch it dims the courtesy lights on the dash?

Yes - when you turn the headlight switch it should dim/brighten the gauge lights...

But the "wee ****" - (LOL !) does not look original....

Push up on it and twist, although the **** is non stock, it probably resets the odometer. The original **** was small and hard to grip.

Yeh got that Mike, but on the 2nd picture there are 3 wee things. The middle one is the buzzer? (how do you test it?)
The top one is?.......
And the bottom maybe has something to do with the turn flasher? (it says flasher on it.)

I've a 77 AIM and I have a 75 AIM on disc. I'll have a wee swatch at it and see if that helps

Yes, the bottom one is the turn signal flasher. There should also be a flasher in the fuse block for the hazard lights. I don't know what the top one is. My '73 does not have it or the buzzer. Hopefully, Mike will come back around and clarify.
