Q about wierd dash switch

I was looking through some interior pictures of a 2001 SCrew, I noticed on the dash under the headlight switch they had what looked like a window switch running sideways, anyone know what this is for??

no the dimmer goes up and down and is a wheel. This looked exactly like a power window rocker switch. See in the pic below the headlight switch

Weird switch

Is that a switch for the adjustable pedals? I don't know if that was an option in 01.

The switch that is pictured is for the power pedals that I believe are standard on first gen screws there is another switch that is optional right next to it that controls the power rear slider hope that helps

Power pedals were optional on first gen screws...

and I believe everyone else is correct, that is what that switch is for.

I don't think power slider was available from the factory until the '02 MY, if not '03. It was probably about brand new in the aftermarket about '01, and it was available from three or four aftermarket manufacturers before it was put into production by Ford.

My '01 was pretty loaded, but did not have either of these on it.

thanks guys, makes sense that it is the power pedals.

Just a thought, how many of you with power pedals acctually use them?? I mean it can't make that big of a difference can it?

With dual remote door lock/unlock key fobs, you can program different pedal heights and seat positions (assuming you have a power seat) on each. This lets a spouse/significant other etc. have different settings than you. The seat and pedals automatically adjust to the settings associated with the key fob that is used to unlock the truck. Long story short - if you are 6' 6" and your spouse is 5' 2" you have a use for the adjustable pedals.

Got ya, cool feature never knew Ford put memory settings in their trucks.

Wouldn't really help me as I am 5'11" and the wife is 5'10"
