What does this Thumbwheel switch do...

[joeym7]

Hi Folks, Quick question on my recently delivered Mojave...I have 1 switch which I can't figure out what it does....

I have highlighted this thumbwheel switch in the attached pic scanned from the manual. It is the thumbwheel on the left if you are facing the dash-board.

The manual says it is the dimmer for lights below the instrument panel and "near the floor".

So I've tried a few times, but: It doesn't seem to do anything, I do not see any lights or light below the instilment panel - where are they hiding these lights, hahaha?

Thanks in advance,
-Joe

Thanks Nacho, I'm reposting your words below to close this out...Lots of nuance with the jeep thumbwheels, Great job figuring this one out ? especially that there is nothing in the manual (as far as I recall) which talks to the "dependency" on the state of the right thumbwheel.

From Nacho: "The light dial on the left is for the foot well lights, and it works in my JT. The one on the right is for the instrument panel. The left one only does something if the Headlights are on AND the other dimmer switch isn't set to maximum brightness."

Also controls the lights in the cup holders, and the front door release handles.

Wait until it's really dark out, and test it... they are all difficuld to see, and impossible with daylight.

It's a wife dimmer. You know when she gets agitated from you doing stupid things on the trail.

FYI, I don't think mine works.
