Hi guys,
I have a ss hatch with a 12/77 build.
Did any late LX Toranas come with the UC indicator/wiper stalk?

My glovebox has the UC lock/handle fitted which I have heard happened towards the end, so I was wondering if the indicator stalk could be UC as well.

The reason I ask is I have a weird switch where the typical wiper switch is. It is a potentiometer with a latching off position at fully anti-clockwise. I doubt it was original but thought I’d ask anyway.

I stand to be corrected but it looks like an old style speaker fade dial or dimming dial

Mine's  a  12/77 and is all like the other lx's, wiper  knob  and lh/x chrome glovebox  lock. I'd  hazard a guess that someone  has  upgraded  to  UC  spec indicator and intermittent wiper  dwell.  Trace  the  wiring coming off  it  and see if  it goes to anything  like rodomo posted.
