The "1" position is reset after the car has sat for 2 hours with the ignition in the 'off' position. The "2" position has to be manually reset. > However, when moving the switch over there it only reset the mileage > on one side and pushing it to the other "0" seemed to do nothing. > Both 0's are resets, for each respective "profile". Get some electrical contact cleaner from an auto parts store or hardware store, and thoroughly spray the wiper stalk... try to get the stuff in the switches itself. That may be enough to get it working again. > So, my stupid question is, How do I work this thing?

At any rate, you've figured out 90 percent of it. :) _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
