Blank button on dash

[Soleman20]

I have a '94 G20t and I am pretty sure it is loaded. But there are 4 buttons below the air vents...Fog lamp button, Hazard button, Rear defog buton, and the last one is a blank dummy button. Anyone know what the deal is with that?

[Nismoboy1]

thats your nitrous button lol j/k its probably there to go with the look, cause 3 or 2 buttons might look funny, i don't know but i've seen fully loaded cars with dummy buttons everywhere, not to worry

[b-b00gie]

i have a 2000 g20t and i have the same thing... i asked my dealer about this since i have a loaded car (minus the cd changer and mudflapz)

what he told me is...


its there in case you get a base model g20 w/o the factory fogs, BUT then one day down the road you want to put in the OEM foglights.... the foglight switch would go on that panel, instead of you getting the whole new spindle switch which controls the factory installed headlights/foglights.

the switch just goes on that panel and looks like it was meant to be there from the beginning...


the "t" models still have the blank panel even though they all come w/ fog lights stock because Nissan decided they werent gonna redesign a whole seperate dash just for the "t"

Ya that would be a cool place to put the nos button

I also have one blank button - I don't have FRONT fog lights. The other three are hazard, defrost, and REAR fog light. Don't you have one in the US???, or is it turned on together fith the front fogs?

As far as I know the G20t does not come with rear fogs, but I guess the Primera does. I guess they both have the same dash. That is why the button on the extreme right is blank on the G20 and on the Primera it is where the rear fog button goes. Thanks, now I know.

Are you sure theres a button on the right there? I think I have on on the left of the steering wheel somewhere, but not to the right of it...i dunno

[Soleman20]

I am positive the blank button is on the right side.

wow, my g20 is crazy.

ive got 4 buttons, in order from left to right it goes like this;

dummy button, hazards, rear defrost, and then some weird button that puts out cold air when you hit it.

i have 2 91" P10 G20's the us models.. and i have no idea what the deal is. my friend has a 91 g20 as well.. same thing.

LOL!!!

Of course, if you don't like the arrangement of your buttons (the four we are talking about) you can always rearrange them (including the blank one.

As for rear fog light, your US car may well be prewired On the P10 there's a place in the red area of the rear light on the trunk lid (on both sides). My rear fog light only incorporates the passenger side, but it is possible to put a bulb in both sides.

Just some useless information from...

No, we don't have rear fogs. I sure wish we did. I've been wanting them and driving to the SE-R National Convention (The Sentra SE-R is a B13 with the SR20DE and the club includes all SR20 powered cars) in May, we drove through totally blinding rain and fog. We get a lot of blinding rain here in Texas as well (acts of God). So, I've been wanting them.

Adam Koo (don't know if he's joined this forum yet or not) was telling me the UK tail lights (and I guess Europe as well) have the rear fogs built in. They also come with clear turn signal lenses. That would be *so* cool. I'm not really into the clear turn signal lenses, but I'd love the built-in fogs.

re: clear turns: I'm old enough to remember when US built cars all had red turn signal lenses and everyone was paying hundreds of dollars for European tail lights to get the amber turn signal lenses. Now it seems to be going the other way. Funny.

How much can you get the P10 tails for?

What are rear fog lights???? Why would you need rear fog lights??

[thaa]

yo dudes!!

on my swedish sold p10, instead of a dummy-button, i've got a switch for the headlight washers.. now, with the washers there, the impul grille is out of the question... they have to go, sooner, or in my case, later. they really make the front ugly!!

and p10det: check the classifieds, eurolight(...)-topic by me... factory new from my nissandealer

/thaa

George, I'm sure US p10-s have a place for a rear fog light bulb (see my previous post). You can install them, with a little bit (right!) of wiring job.

P.S. Is that DET under the hood yet?

Rear fog lights are super bright red tail lights used in inclement whether so people behind you can see you.

In the instance I ran into driving to Washington, DC for the SE-R convention, we first hit rain so heavy you couldn't see more than 30 meters ahead. Then we hit fog so dense you couldn't see more than 15-20 meters ahead. I turned on my hazzard lights because they are brighter than the tail lights. If I had rear fogs I would have turned them on instead.
