Anybody put the super convenient foot well headlight dimmer switch back into service on a newer truck like a superduty?
I'm headed down that path because I'm tired of taking my hands off the steering wheel in a turn over and over and over and over while my left foot sits and does nothing for hours on end. We used to know how to do this, then we forgot and put it on a knob with a thousand other things, all requiring you to take your hands off the wheel.
Has this already been breached, and if so what parts, what was the easiest way to tie in, so on and so forth?
God knows I like picking my right hand up, grabbing the wheel, removing my left hand from the wheel, pulling the little plastic lever back, putting my left hand back on the wheel, putting my right hand back wherever it was, on the radio, on the shifter, holding something in the seat, leaned up on the seat, and then waiting for all oncoming traffic to pass, putting my right hand BACK on the wheel, taking my left hand BACK off the wheel, grabbing the little plastic lever and shoving it forward AGAIN, putting my left hand BACK on the steering wheel, and then putting my right hand BACK where it was AGAIN..... e v e r y.... s i n g l e...... t i m e......s o m e o n e.....a p p r o a c h e s.....
Meanwhile...... update from the floorboard where we used to know how to dim lights but somehow forgot along the way.....
Left foot...... did not a single thing during all of that. Just sat there in the floor, doing nothing. Could have left my hands alone, doing whatever I wanted to be doing and just went CLICK....... then cars all pass and CLICK we're back again.....
I hate it when we as a society FORGET how to do something we already knew how to do.
Floor mounted dimmer is a human factors engineering A, while the pos plastic thing on the wheel is a D-.
Use the plastic pos for a quick flash but use the floor button for bright/dim at night.
Just wanted to check if anybody had done it already.
