Weird feeling when you try to step on a pedal that's not there...

It's been like 5 months and I *still* push them the wrong way sometimes.
The controls are in the same spot, they just operate opposite! The windshield wiper switch is pushed *up* to turn on the wipers, and down to mist. The Vibe is down to turn them on and up for mist.lannvouivre wrote:Can you show a picture of this dark Subaru wizardry?kumquat wrote:On my Subaru, the windshield wiper switch and door lock switch are reversed from how they were in the Vibe.

Oh, I understand now. I was thinking that the wiper controls were where the window controls were or something and was horrified.kumquat wrote:The controls are in the same spot, they just operate opposite!

I fight this battle every day as I rotate between the Vibe and the Sonic. Wiper controls in the same place but they work in the opposite directions. Even the intermittent setting works the opposite. To add to the confusion the triangle legend on the stalk for the delay time is the same in both cars, but it doesn't mean the same thing.kumquat wrote:The controls are in the same spot, they just operate opposite!
