"tuck the shit under".

Said somewhere backstage at a Drag Queen show.

I think it is a simple on\off switch to disable the electric windows and not a circuit breaker. It was probably mandated by the DOT along with child proof door locks...that most of us can't open :-)

The switch is $1. The pictogram is $59.

Worth every penny IMHO ;)

No, the speaker button is for balancing the volume...left and right.

Not the button...

i've hear that its for when the motors are drawing too much load (like icy windows or closing on an arm). Since its aready there, why bother even messing with it?

Well with my 4 door E36 switch swap I now have a ton of extra wire, the window lock switch and the circuit breaker tucked up under the shift boot... Needless to say, room is pretty tight down there.

Maybe you should read the post(s) you were responding too...

Now that this is brought here, I wonder, what was/is the porpouse of that little "vent-grill" next to the temperature knob? I always wondered if there was a sensor behind it (when I was a kid) but never figured out for what was it.

The little guy on the bottom left that sits next to the temperature thingy?? Thats a speaker I think for when the radio alarm goes off. My dads IX has the "optimum" Radio or whatever the best is that BMW put in and while the car is off if you hit 'band' or take the radio out and a couple other things an annoying alarm goes off and I believe that is the speaker for it. I might be lying.

hahaha, the good'ol window circuit breaker.
I've fallen prey to it before. (you push it, then realize later that your windows stopped working. then you press it and tell youself "WHAT A USELESS BUTTON!" hahaha
