Default Switches under dash

I have a 75 corvette I am restoring. I figured out the one pull push know its for the lights when you just want them up and not on.

there is another switch/**** just to the left of it. Can't figure out what its for.

Thank you

My 69 has the reset button for the trip odometer in that area - not sure if 75 still had it in that location?

I was told that is the purpose of that unit in my 77. It doesn't seem to work, so I can't truly verify that

FWIW: your owner's manual explains how to reset the trip odometer. I believe you push up and turn.

Here are photos from my 73. These would also be found on the 75. The Wiper **** and override pull stopped being used on the 73. 72 was the last year for Vacuum operated pop up Wiper door. The first photo shows the headlight override pull ****. The second shows the odometer reset ****. The reset is pretty tough to use, especially if it hasn't been used for a long time. I reset mine each year at the beginning of driving season. . You push it up and turn to reset the odometer numbers. I always need to pull mine back down a bit to disingage it. The rubber **** is usually missing or split because of the amount of pushing and pulling it takes over the years.
Hope this helps.
