What is the small circle opening?
« on: February 17, 2010, 03:58:47 »
Hi Guys:

Can anyone tell me what is the small circular opening with a spring cover next to the fuse box?

I have one in my stove for a thermostat to be plugged in and the probe in the food. For some reason I do not think that is what this one is for. Is it for a light?

best,

TY

And a correct trouble light for our cars will set you back a few dollars!

Patience and ebay can be your friend on this. I have seen the prices all over the map.
