What am I missing in the spot?
 
I have a wire hanging down and looks like some spot for something in my dash. My car is an ‘83 Cabriolet.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1584653256.jpg

Mirror selector switch

Are you sure? I looked up the mirror selector switch and the connector looks alot different.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1584658222.jpg

that is where my mirror switch is in my 79. Maybe different on your model year??

Mine too......wonder if some one removed that switch and installed a radar detector/ laser scanner or stereo component controller....

It’s for the Wiper double wipe. Yep, you press it and the windshield is wiped twice. Quirky and useless.

Right switch is for the sunroof, which you do not apparently have and right one is for the wiper double wipe.
Cheers,

That connector does not look OEM to me.

I have never heard of a "double wipe"......well not as it applies to Porsche. My Mom offered up another storyline.

alarm system keypad or some such thing

that's what I was wondering.

if someone wired something else in there then the original wire should be back inside the dash

That's one horrible looking interior. Remove tongue from cheek.;) How about an exterior pic?
