I’d actually checked the front end of the car with the button on and off and didn’t see a difference — no wonder, it controls the rear fog light!

One other thing: there’s a snowflake symbol to the right of the odometer. Once in a blue moon a yellow light in its center lights up. Can anyone clue me in as to what that rarely-appearing light is?

Thanks again.
