Default 86-89 console switches

I ordered a carbon fiber dash for my 86 and the console covers didn't fit mine so i shipped it back and they are going to rectify the problem. The console covers they shipped me both had 4 switch holes. What is the fourth switch hole for ?
Thanks :cheers:

I'm having a hard time picturing what you're describing. What switches on the console, the window switches?

86,

If I take your posting right, you mean the 4 switches in the center console on the left side under the 4 vent squares. The 4 switches that I have on my 87 are: oil press/oil temp, coolant temp/volts, range/trip ODO, instant fuel range/average fuel range. Is that the 4 your talking about??

The the 4th hole is for the OD switch on 84-85 cars with the 4+3 transmission. The OD switch was moved to the shift **** in 86.

Also, looking at the above picture, what was the hole above the shifter? I thought that was where the o/d switch was.

This seems like a good answer,i thought that it was on the center dash.

That hole is for the 4+3 emblem.


[quote]What about the adj suspension switch? Was that on the console in 89?[quote]

I was thinking the same but not sure about it.

Some 89s had this option....placement of the switch was on the console between the window switches. It would be a square hole....
