Default What do these do.

I know I have seen a thread on this before but when I searched I couldn’t find it so I’ll just ask. What do these do? I think the red and the blue are for vacuum bypass for the wipers and the headlight not sure which is which though. I think one of the others is the trip ometer also not sure but that leaves one more, I have no clue ?

Purple resets the odometer. Red and blue, head light and wiper door override. They allow the headlight and wiper doors to stay open so you can work on them. Yellow, to stop the wipers mid way so you can change them.

I like to reset the "trip" odometer to zero every Spring before my 1st trip out.
That way I know exactly how many miles I put on when I put it away in the Fall....
