unknown knob and indicator light
 
Below the instrument cluster and about 6 inches to the right of the steering column (mounted on a plate) is a knob and small indicator light.Tthe light comes on when you turn the knob fully clockwise until it clicks.i can't tell what it's for and can't find anything about it in the owners manual.Does anyone know what it does? tx.

A pic would help out a lot so we can help you.

Thx!

The only knob I see in the vicinity of the steering wheel on my 2011LS is well under the dash on the right (near the tire pressure TPMS controls) and I believe that knob is for setting the volume of the beep you hear when you lock/unlock the doors. But there is no light.

Yes a picture would be good.

Thanks for looking.i'll take some pictures tomorrow.The knob and light that i'm asking about are to the right and above the knob that adjusts the volume for the buzzer.From other pictures i've seen of that area on other cars ,both may only be on the 2007l model. tx

Its in the owners manual but it is the level of sound for key fob alerts and the other is the TPMS reset button

I agree and could not even offer a guess as to what it's purpose is.:dunno: Maybe another member is familiar with it.

if it looks like a telephone plug behind it that is probably a bass knob. i have one for my aftermarket amp.

That is the switch to activate the KITT red strobe light in the front grill

Def aftermarket

I am surprised you thought Lexus would put something in that shoddy looking into an LS. lol. Not factory but I am curious as to what it as well. did you try to look underneath the little box to see if there is a brand or some other indicator on it??
