Interesting Junkyard Finds


Recommended Posts

Posted

I went combing through the junkyards yesterday, and came across a few interesting items. If anyone is in need of any of these, let me know and I'll go back for them:

 

1. Gray steering wheel w/audio controls from Gen I GP

2. Electronic climate control panel from Bonneville SSE

3. "Twilight Master" (I think) dimmer knob from Bonneville SSE

4. Stereo w/equalizer from a early GP

 

Not sure if these are in demand, but just thought I'd share...see if I can help one of you good people out. :)

Yes! That's it! (couldn't remember the name for the life of me...lol)

 

I have to say, that is the oddest name for any feature I have ever seen in a vehicle...:)

Makes no sense to me either!! I saw it in my buddies Bonneville and the hell if I knew what it meant lol

Amen to that...

 

What, does turning that knob activate a sentinel guard with night vision to guard your car? :) :mrgreen:

Bonnies have automatic headlights, and it determines with what darkness intensity to turn them on.

yeah, it's basically automatic headlights but you can turn it on/off yourself. you can also control how long your headlights stay on after you turn the ignition off. it doesn't really have anything to do with "intensity", be it the intensity of the headlights or how light/dark it is outside.

 

i really liked this feature on my Bonneville. i wish my Cutlass had it.

With some work you could probably add it to your Cutlass. 1st gen w's in Canada starting in 1990 came with a variation of that twilight sentinel thing. However it isn't adjustable.

 

My Lumina will turn all the lights on when it gets to a certain point of light outside. The sensor is in the speaker grille on my car...

 

I'm guessing with some fabrication and locating the correct parts you could add it. Probably not worth the hassle though. Hell I don't even know anything about how the system works. My Haynes manual makes no mention of it, nor does my Owner's manual lol...

I'm not sure, as I just took note of it and kept going. I'll go back to the yard today and get some pics/prices for this stuff.

Z34's have auto lights too.

 

as do almost all candian cars.

 

I believe all canadian cars from 1990 have daytime running lights.
