Knob under dash
 

I'm trying to figure out what this knob controls on my 1982 930. I was hoping someone could shed some light on this before I have to pull all the carpet out in the trunk to trace it out.

Thanks.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1548779912.jpg

Old aftermarket alarm or stereo related piece. (or of course, the "secret boost" ;) )

I'm going with secret boost...going to pull everything out of the trunk and trace this mystery knob out. I don't want any "more" boost than I already have!

It is on the drivers side as well.

Those are controls for the dual Schlampenschleppers.

Makes me wonder if they’re fader knobs for a stereo since they’re on both sides. Only way to know for sure is to start pulling wires out.
I got enough wire to stuff a five gallon bucket when I pulled my aftermarket stereo and alarm.

me, sure could go fer some "knob under dash"... in fact, it's oft implied / highly suggested whilst what's her face is aboard

just turn it up and see what happens???

8-)

This weekend the mystery will be solved.

hahahahahahahahaaaaa!

I have one of those mysterious knobs,

When I pull mine it gets longer ???

^^^ They all should. Otherwise a little blue pill is needed

Looks like a hidden dial of death.

Yeh, mystery wires and unknown little boxes are fun. Mine came to me with the remnants of an ungo box plus a broken aftermarket alarm, and false items to pass New Jersey's licensing board {mine is a gray market car}.
Hell, I even had a cardboard box under the seat painted black with false wires going back to the engine compartment, all intended to look like a factory Lamda system, even had a nut welded to the exhaust with a false O2 sensor screwed into it.
Ah the 80's must have been good times.

Deez, isn't that somewhat dependant on the skill level of the operator?!?!

For example, Steve demonstrated his knobular mastery with this statement --->


. . . and it is well known that Paul K. is a world-class knobist, butt how about you - mad pulling skillz, like Steve ?!?! :eek:

Butt of course; I pull my knob often.

Nice to have the day off today.

So I will be trying to get my hands around my knob and see what cums of it.

Will post pics of the result.

:eek: ;)

That is effen funny.

That looks exactly like the manual boost control valve that I once had install on my '77 Turbo. It was provided by Garretson Enterprises. Loosen the screw on top to adjust the valve, then lock it down to prevent dial-of-death events.

Well some success,

I pulled and pulled and it kept coming and coming and here is the result in a picture.

Found the terminal end attached to nothing next to the fuel filter.

My 930 is going to be quicker once the 50 kilos of copper have been removed.

I would say I have removed 3 x this already trying to tidy up the wiring.

The white button switch (bottom left) I found attached next to the front seat belt buckle bolts, and again wires to no where. Makes me wonder what the hell has this 930 been through, and what this switch could have possibly been for.

Dayuuummmnnnn, Steve, yer knob really delivered! Have you considered a career in adult entertainment?!?! :eek:
