Vertical rectangle in dash?
 

I tried doing a search and looking through the factory service manual on my 98 with no luck.

On 97+ XJ's, if you look to the right of the instrument cluster, on the bezel, there is a roughly 3/4" wide by 3" tall "outline" molded into the plastic. I can't find out what it is for. I assume some sort a switch or indicator lights. Maybe even something only used in foreign markets?

Anyone have any ideas? It's stupid, and I don't really intend to do anything with that space, but it's driving my OCD crazy not knowing what it's for!

Its a DYFCTTFIO panel.

On Europen Diesel verisons there are lights there. Here, however, we put our own switches there

Thanks. That's all I needed. A simple answer to a simple question.

Didn't like DYFCTTFIO huh?

I don't even know what it means...

Drives you friggin crazy trying to figure it out.

It was a joke, never mind.

Okay. Now I got it. I sat there forever trying to figure out what it might stand for. I even googled it! I'm with ya, now!
