The chrome knob appears to be an addition from a p/o as there is not =
usually a hole in that location. Do you think that the car might have =
had fog lights in a previous life? Other than that, I'm afraid that you =
will probably have to try to trace the wiring.
The trip meter reset is usually under the dash, to the right, near the =
steering column. In the highly unlikely event that the car still has =
the under dash panels in place, it usually sticks down through that. =20

Subject: RE: [Bmcu] Another Question
All,
Ya'll did so well on the third windshield wiper question I thought =
another test question on my MGB would be good. Well, maybe two =
questions. =20
=20
First, I attached a photo of my dash (Don't ya just love electrical =
tape-I have to live with it until I buy a new fancy steering =
wheel-anyone have one?) Just right of the temp gage there is a large =
black "plug?" a chrome knob and a toggle switch. I know the chrome knob =
(out of a 51 Chevrolet) is aftermarket but my question is: The chrome =
knob is a push-pull switch that does not seem to operate anything that I =
can tell. I do not see it in any catalog picture; does anyone know what =
it is for?
=20
Second, On the speedo there are two mileage gages. The top one is a =
four digit trip meter? I expect that it can be reset? Where would be =
the device be to reset it back to zero. My gas gage is typically =
British. When the tank if full it registers =BC tank. It works but =
until I get a good reading on how low it will go I am figuring amount of =
gas in tank by miles driven and the mileage I get. That seems right now =
to be pretty good but I do not have an accurate mileage figured out just =
yet,.
