Hello all,

I manage a 55 Eldorado for an Orlando theme park.

I was wondering what each of the knobs on the dash were used for since 3 of them are no longer in use/functional. The far left is the lights (those still work) & the one on the right is the lighter, but what are the 3 others for? Thanks for the help!

The other three are:  (1) wiper / washers (2)
left cowl vent (3) right cowl vent

The wiper washer (far left) has the "button" in
the middle of the knob.  The "button" starts the
washer, the knob twists to start / set wiper speed.

You might want them to invest in an owners & shop manual.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I just manage the car - the company has mechanics that deal with all the important stuff so it's not information that I really require.
