What's this control

Post by TeeCee »

Hello everyone, I am new to the Spider world and to this forum. I hope you good or bad folks can lead me through this experience.
I just bought an 82 2000.
I really love it, so far. I've been out just kinda getting to know the car. Poor baby needs some good ole TLC.
My question is;
On the dashboard, right side of instrument cluster in top center panel, where the brake, ex. Gas sensor and seatbelt lights is a knob on the right.
If I were guessing I would say it's for the courteously lights. I'd sure like some help there.
Also, what do I need to know about instrument lights? Bulb locations, what circuit do they share. I bought a schematic drawing but dont see anything about cluster lights.
Thanks for the help in advance.

That would be the rheostat for the instrument lights. If you sign up for mirafiori. com their library has a plethora of information. Owners manuals (that identify the controls, list which circuits are on which fuses etc.) Wiring diagrams, trouble shooting guides etc.
