I'm glad that I'm not the only one doing things like that. More storage is a good thing in a vette.

I finally discovered the Fog Lamp switch. I thought it was a defrost by looking at the icon.

I think they became standard in 94 when the passenger side air bag replaced the glove compartment.

Wathen1955, you're not alone on the fog lamp thing - it was quite a while after I got mine before I found out what that was. The FSM is a great investment, but while you're at it also pick up the regular owner's manual that would have come with the car when new - all sorts of wondrous things await discovery!

My neighbor with a 86 never knew about the hatch switches on the doors. He never knew how I could open the hatch without going into the console.

This just happened to me today! I was pretty sure that the dealership I bought my 93 from forgot to put the owners manual in the car but low and behold, I found the SECRET rear storage bin today and there it was!
